Graduate Student Teaching Awards
Teaching assistants in the Slavic Department go through a rigorous training program and are well prepared to teach Russian. In fact, our graduate students win teaching awards far out of proportion to the small size of our department. This is a reflection of the commitment faculty and graduate students share to excellence in teaching.
