College of Information doctoral student Daniella Smith has won an 2008 Outstanding Teaching Assistant Award. The awards are sponsored by APPS: The Program for Instructional Excellence (PIE), part of the FSU Center for Teaching and Learning, to recognize the outstanding contribution TAs make to the instructional mission of the University.

Daniella was one of ten TAs chosen to receive the award out of 87 nominated graduate teaching assistants. Nominees submit teaching portfolios, which are evaluated by a committee of 20 FSU faculty and senior graduate student teaching assistants.
