Dr. Anne Marie Todd received the College of Social Sciences’ Teaching Excellence Award. This award for outstanding teaching was created in 2012 to honor a faculty member who has distinguished him/herself as an inspiring teacher and mentor. Each year the chairs review the nominations and vote to select the person they consider to have demonstrated the qualities of excellence and creativity in teaching that embody the ideals of CoSS and the University. This award recognizes a distinguished contribution to SJSU’s primary mission: teaching and mentoring the students to whose development faculty dedicate their professional lives.
