We are honored to share that Professor Libbie Rifkin is one of three professors at Georgetown University to receive this year’s prestigious Dean’s Excellence in Teaching Award!

As the description on the College’s website states: the “award is given to those faculty members who have demonstrated that they are exceptional educators who are deeply committed to enriching the undergraduate experience.” We certainly know this to be true of Libbie who was nominated by Jennifer Natalya Fink, the current Director of the Program in Disability Studies.
