Teaching Awards for Two St. Edward’s Math Faculty

Monica Cicciarelli was selected for the University’s 2019-2020 Outstanding Teaching Award for her thoughtful and pedagogically rich teaching materials and her engaging work in the classroom. This prestigious award involves a rigorous and extensive selection process; in a university filled with intelligent, dedicated, and engaged faculty, St. Edward’s recognizes Ms. Cicciarelli’s work as being exceptional. Congratulations, Monica!

Paul Savala, our newest math faculty member, was selected for the University’s 2019-2020 DeLayne Hudspeth Award for Innovative Instruction, for his teaching innovation in helping students develop critical understanding of statistics in a personally meaningful project. Dr. Savala’s open-ended project, “Show Me the Data” encourages students to apply the statistics techniques they’ve learned to a question and topic they care deeply about, bringing their authentic selves to a mathematics course.  Congratulations on this prestigious award, Paul!
