Last week both Jen Nader and Douglas Ryan VanBenthuysen won awards that illustrate their teaching effectiveness and success as graduate student teachers of First-Year English courses here at the Department of English Language and Literature at the University of New Mexico. The winners of the awards from this year will become judges for the Spring 2009 FYE Teaching Awards, which are open to all graduate student instructors within the department and were chosen by the Interim FYE Director and a committee of Rhetoric and Writing Graduate Student TAs.

Jen Nader won the award for Outstanding Instructor.

Douglas Ryan VanBenthuysen won the award for the best sequence designed for an English 101 or 102 class.

Jen and Doug will receive certificates and a monetary award at an awards ceremony at the end of this semester, May 14. Doug’s winning sequence and a general announcement regarding this years’ winners of the FYE Teaching Awards should be posted soon on the UNM English Department Homepage. We’ll update our blog here too after the award ceremony.
