One of our graduate students in Middle Eastern history, Noor Zaidi (HIST), has been selected to receive a School of Arts and Sciences Dean's Award for Distinguished Teaching by Graduate Students for the 2010-2011 academic year. A faculty committee has selected her along with nine other recipients. These awards are presented annually to graduate students in the arts and sciences to recognize their contributions to teaching at the undergraduate level. The awards seek to recognize teaching that is intellectually rigorous, exceptionally coherent, and has had considerable impact on students.
