GW School of Medicine and Health Sciences faculty member Juliet Lee, M.D., assistant professor of surgery, was among the winners of the 2015 Bender Teaching Awards.
Lee, a board-certified surgeon and a fellow of the American College of Surgeons, was recognized for her high academic standards and teaching skills. Lee joins Irene Foster, assistant professor of economics; Adrienne Hancock, assistant professor of speech and hearing science; and Edward Helfers, part-time faculty, University Writing Program, as this year’s recipients.
The Bender Teaching Awards recognize undergraduate, graduate, and professional teaching at GW. Awardees are nominated by a department chairs, colleagues, or students, and winners are selected by a committee consisting of a GW Student Association representative, previous Trachtenberg and Bender award winners, faculty members who have not won either award, and a Faculty Advisory Board member. Each award provides a $1,000 prize to be used by the recipient for professional development.
