Quantrell Award for Excellence in Undergraduate TeachingIn 1938, an anonymous gift to the University created an endowment, the purpose of which was unique in American higher education: a monetary award would be presented annually to faculty members in recognition of their excellence in teaching undergraduate students. The donor's anonymity technically prevailed for more than a decade, but in 1952, University Trustee Ernest Quantrell added to his gift, consented to be acknowledged as the donor and named the award for his parents. The Llewellyn John and Harriet Manchester Quantrell Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching is the nation's oldest prize for undergraduate teaching.Elizabeth Alexander Assistant Professor in English Language & Literature Gregory Hillhouse Associate Professor in Chemistry Lawrence McEnerney Director of University Writing Programs Nathan Tarcov Professor in Political Science Philip Ulinski Professor in Organismal Biology & Anatomy
