Each Spring, the Office of Undergraduate Studies hosts a year-end celebration and reception to honor the accomplishments of its faculty and staff.
One of the highlights of the ceremony is the presentation of the Donna B. Hamilton Teaching Awards. The Donna B. Hamilton General Education Teaching Award recognizes extraordinary teaching in a General Education course across the whole university based on undergraduate student nominations. The Office of Undergraduate Studies recognizes two faculty members for excellence in teaching each year: one faculty member teaching in an Undergraduate Studies Program, and one faculty member teaching in a General Education Program.
This year's Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching in a General Education Course went to Timothy Reedy, lecturer in both the Science, Technology and Society Scholars program and in Engineering. It marked the second consecutive year a faculty member from College Park Scholars received one of the teaching recognitions and the third time since 2022.
Other members of the College Park Scholars community were recognized for their years of service at the University of Maryland:
- Ben Beltran, 5 Years
- Carolyn Seward, 45 Years
