Congratulations to the thirteen Ivan Allen College faculty who are among the 40 instructors named as recipients of the Class of 1934 CIOS (Course Instructor Opinion Survey) awards for teaching excellence.

The recipients are:

Lindsey Bullinger, Public Policy, Assistant Professor

Lionel Gall, Modern Languages, Senior Lecturer

Claire Greenstein, International Affairs, Postdoctoral Fellow

Yongtaek Kim, Modern Languages, Associate Professor

Aya McDaniel, Modern Languages, Lecturer

Natalia Myshkin, Modern Languages, Lecturer

The award is open to full-time instructors who administer the Course Instructor Opinion Survey (CIOS) to their students. Courses are categorized into large classes or small classes, then awards are given based on CIOS scores and the number of students who responded. CIOS scores are based on student responses in three categories:  the instructor’s respect and concern for students; their level of enthusiasm about teaching the course; and their ability to stimulate my interest in the subject matter. The awards are funded by an endowment by the Class of 1934.
