Also to be recognized at the ceremony are the winners of the university’s Research

and Creative Achievement Awards — the Creative Achievement Award, the Paul W.

Eberman Faculty Research Award and the Temple University Faculty Research Award

— and Temple’s winners of the Lindback Award for Distinguished Teaching.

The event honoring Temple’s best teachers has taken place annually since 1988.

Faculty members can be nominated for a Great Teacher Award by administrators,

students or department chairs. The nominations are evaluated on the quality

of their teaching and creativity as shown through student course evaluations, peer

reviews, seminar presentations and related work.

The nominations include extensive information detailing the faculty member’s

commitment to excellence and originality in teaching, effective relationships with

students, outstanding performance in meeting a wide range of teaching responsibilities, and leadership in teaching-related activities outside the classroom.

Lyons, Kwalwasser and Rosenthal will each receive a sculpture by Tyler School of

Art Professor Stanley Lechtzin and a $15,000 award. In addition, their names will be

etched into the wall of Founder’s Garden.

The winners of the Lindback Award are Mary F. Barbe, College of Health Professions; Susan L. DeJarnatt, Beasley School of Law; Lawrence Kaplan, School of Medicine; Edward D. Latham, Boyer College of Music and Dance; Jonathan A. Scott, Fox School of Business; and Joan Poliner Shapiro, College of Education.

Eberman Faculty Research Award); and Zein-Eddine Meziani, College of Science and Technology (Faculty Research Award).
