As a Theatre Arts Faculty member, Theresa brings excellence, innovation and creativity to TA’s teaching, in addition to her research and service to the UO’s and many other communities. Due to this commitment to excellence, Theresa has been awarded the  Thomas F. Herman Faculty Achievement Award!

A note from Theatre Arts Department Head, Dorothee Ostmeier:

It is my great honor and joy to cordially congratulate Theresa for being awarded the Thomas F. Herman Faculty Achievement Award. President Schill and Provost Patrick wrote in their letter to Theresa “it is a pleasure to recognize and reward your long-standing excellence in teaching and significant contributions to student learning.” The Provost’s website says:

“The Thomas F. Herman Faculty Achievement Award was established in 1994 to recognize senior faculty members who have demonstrated excellence in teaching. The Thomas F. Herman Award for Excellence in Pedagogy was initiated in 2014 to recognize senior faculty members with expertise in a particular area of teaching. In 2017, a third Herman Award category, the Thomas F. Herman Award for Outstanding Online Education, was established to recognize faculty members at any stage of their career who have demonstrated innovation and creativity in implementing online and hybrid class formats.”
