Distinguished Teachers

The Department prides itself on the quality of our undergraduate and graduate instruction.  One sign of distinction is the number of faculty who have been awarded the Charles B. Murphy Outstanding Undergraduate Teaching Award. The Murphy Award is given annually in recognition of outstanding teaching in all phases of undergraduate instruction at the West Lafayette campus. The University's highest undergraduate teaching honor, the Murphy Award is accompanied by induction into Purdue's Teaching Academy, which provides leadership for the improvement of undergraduate, graduate, and outreach teaching. The winners' names are also included in the engraved Book of Great Teachers, a plaque in Purdue Memorial Union that honors the best teachers throughout Purdue's history.  The Department is proud to have more Murphy Award winners since the year 2000 among our faculty than any other department at Purdue:
