Professors from each school in FSU’s College of Communication and Information (CCI) were recognized for outstanding teaching at the University level with annual awards:

  • Sindy Chapa, Associate Professor, School of Communication – Graduate Teaching Award
  • Elizabeth Madden, Assistant Professor, School of Communication Science and Disorders – Undergraduate Teaching Award
  • Marcia Mardis, Professor, School of Information – Graduate Teaching Award
  • Kaitlin Lansford, Associate Professor, School of Communication Science and Disorders – Undergraduate Teaching Award

“It is so nice to see our faculty recognized for their hard work and dedication to our students,” says Larry Dennis, dean of CCI. “Every one of them is an outstanding instructor. The high quality of instruction provided by Drs. Chapa, Mardis, Lansford, and Madden, along with the many other College faculty who have won or been nominated this award over the years, represent a tremendous commitment to our students and their education. We’re very proud of all of them.”

FSU’s University Teaching Awards program recognizes faculty for excellence in undergraduate and graduate teaching. “Recipients must be outstanding in the many aspects of teaching which contribute to successful teaching and learning,” says the program’s website. With nominations submitted by students and alumni, these awarded are student-oriented. Each recipient receives a $2,000 award.
