TED Talk Feature
Ramsey Musallam
"It took a life-threatening condition to jolt chemistry teacher Ramsey Musallam out of ten years of "pseudo-teaching" to understand the true role of the educator: to cultivate curiosity. In a fun and personal talk, Musallam gives 3 rules to spark imagination and learning, and get students excited about how the world works."

Faculty Spotlight
Dr. Joseph Yavornitzky
A student nominator wrote about this year’s Strosacker recipient, “In regard to teaching and mentorship, this professor exemplifies the word extraordinary. This professor takes great pride in pushing students to master very challenging material often reserved for graduate education. Even so, the omnipresent jovial demeanor of this instructor keeps classroom dynamics lighthearted and deeply engaging. He clearly takes great pride in his classroom and the students are the fortunate beneficiaries.
