Each year, the college recognizes extraordinary faculty achievements by awarding the Hazel R. McClymont Distinguished Teaching Award and Outstanding Research and Creative Activity Awards. The recipients will be formally recognized at the college’s annual Celebration of Excellence on April 10.

Shari Stenberg, associate professor of English and WGS progam faculty, will receive the McClymont Award, which is chosen by members of the college executive committee and honors exemplary teaching.

Stenberg has authored many chapters and articles, as well as two books, including a volume on teaching English to college students. She specializes in composition and rhetoric; critical and feminist pedagogies; feminist rhetoric; and teaching and writing development.

“I am incredibly impressed with the breadth of Dr. Stenberg’s teaching accomplishments,” Dean Joseph Francisco said. “She teaches writing to undergraduate and graduate students, trains graduate student instructors and undergraduate writing tutors, involves faculty in peer teaching circles and mentoring discussions, and is the Director of Composition and Rhetoric for the English Department.”
