Chew, Posner Honored with University Teaching Awards

Selected from more than 800 nominations, the winners of the 2022 University Teaching Awards will receive special recognition at the Jan. 15 men’s basketball game.

Carolina honored 25 faculty members and teaching assistants for their accomplishments with the 2022 University Teaching Awards.

Given annually, the awards acknowledge the University’s commitment to outstanding teaching and mentoring for graduate and undergraduate students.

“Even as the pandemic continued, faculty remained resilient and dedicated to teaching, continuously supporting students through challenging times and maintaining research interests,” said Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost Robert A. Blouin. “And in the fall of 2021, they transitioned from remote teaching to return to the classroom for in-person instruction. I am proud of their accomplishments and grateful for their perseverance. They are richly deserving of this recognition.”

Administered by the Center for Faculty Excellence, the awards were chosen by the University Teaching Awards Committee from more than 800 nominations. This year’s winners are honored in six categories, including:

Distinguished Teaching Awards for Post-Baccalaureate Instruction

• Jocelyn Glazier, School of Education
• Alexa Chew, School of Law
• M. Theresa Palmer, School of Social Work
• Beth Sheba Posner ’97, School of Law

The winners will be recognized at halftime of the Jan. 15 men’s basketball game against Georgia Tech.
