In the SpotlightMurphy Award profiles: Jason Weiss and Cynthia Bozich KeithFive exceptional teachers have been selected as recipients of the 2014 Outstanding Undergraduate Teaching Awards in Memory of Charles B. Murphy. Today, we focus on Jason Weiss, the Jack and Kay Hockema Professor of Civil Engineering, and Cynthia Bozich Keith, clinical associate professor of nursing. 
A keen knack for explaining complex topics in relatable, easily digestible ways is one of Jason Weiss' teaching strengths. That skill, along with a strong focus on improving and adapting his pedagogical techniques, consistently earns Weiss stellar feedback from his civil engineering students. 
Shaping her students' interest in psychiatric health into sharp clinical skills and professional, compassionate and respectful attitudes toward patients is Cynthia Bozich Keith's passion. It follows, then, that she considers teaching in a clinical setting as well as in the classroom the best of both worlds.
