Through the Outstanding Graduate Student Instructor Awards, Rackham recognizes scholars who have been nominated by their programs for teaching excellence. Winners of this award show exceptional skill in teaching, mentoring, and advising. They bring creativity, commitment, and excitement to the classroom and share that passion with their students.

This year, three individuals associated with the Classical Studies Department were recognized for their outstanding teaching: Noah Cashian (Ancient History), Alanna Heatherly and Brittany Pendergraft (both from Classical Studies).

In addition, Ian Moyer, Associate Professor in the Department of History, received the John H. D’Arms Faculty Award for Distinguished Graduate Mentoring in the Humanities.
