Along with three other faculty members, Luft was recognized for her excellence in developing and implementing creative teaching strategies to improve student learning and encourage instructional excellence.
Faculty have an obligation to draw upon research in the area of learning and teaching in order to guide their instructional approaches," said Luft. “Fortunately, we know more than we have ever known before about the learning and teaching of undergraduates.
