Kroepsch-Maurice Excellence in Teaching Award

The Kroepsch-Maurice Excellence in Teaching Awards recognize faculty for excellent undergraduate instruction. They memorialize Robert H. and Ruth M. Kroepsch and her parents, Walter C. and Mary L. Maurice. Robert H. Kroepsch served as Registrar and Dean of Administration at UVM from 1946-1956. Ruth graduated from UVM in 1938 and her father, Walter Maurice, graduated from UVM in 1909. All four were teachers. The Kroepsch-Maurice Awards are administered under the authority of the Office of the Provost in support of academic excellence in teaching and learning. Each year one faculty member in each of the four rank categories (Lecturer/Senior Lecturer/Clinical Instructor, Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, Professor) receives this honor. The English Department's own Holly Painter won this prestigious award in the Lecturer category this year. She was celebrated by colleagues and friends at the award ceremony held recently. Please join us in congratulating Holly on this great honor and recognition of her hard work.
