Teaching, service and research honored with LAS awards

Iowa State University's College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (LAS) has honored 25 faculty and staff with awards for their accomplishments and a pair of Department of History faculty have been recognized for their classroom teaching.

The recipients will be formally recognized in the fall during the LAS Faculty/Staff Convocation on Wednesday, Sept. 5.

The recipients and their awards include:

Outstanding Teaching - recognizes faculty members for outstanding teaching performance over an extended period of time in undergraduate education.

  • David Wilson, professor of history. For over three decades, Wilson has led both undergraduate and graduate teaching in the Department of History. He helps science and liberal arts majors alike appreciate the essential historical context behind scientific developments including leading classes in re-enacting the trial of Galileo.

Early Teaching - recognizes a faculty member who has demonstrated outstanding teaching performance unusually early in their professional careers.

  • John Monroe, assistant professor of history. Deeply committed to his teaching, Monroe has developed a lecture technique that brings historical material alive for his students, whether they are history majors or non-majors and in small classes or large.
