Congratulations to Professor Gerard Parkin on receiving a 2008 Presidential Teaching Award. The presidential awards honor the best of Columbia's teachers for the influence they have on the development of their students and their part in maintaining the university's longstanding reputation for educational excellence. Each year, the president of the university writes to faculty, students, and alumni asking for nominations for the awards, which are announced at the spring commencement ceremony. More information can be found on the university's teaching award website.
