Got Two Awards in Teaching ...

Dear Readers,

I am glad to inform you that, I got two Awards for excellence in teaching at SGU. These Awards are Banfield Golden Apple Award for Teaching Excellence and Carl Norden - Pfizer Distinguished Teaching Award. These awards are given by voting by all vet students. These are my first awards in teaching and I am really excited. Earlier I have got several awards for my research work.

Its first time any Indian has got these awards here and also it is first time any teacher has got these two awards at same time.

I have posted some fotos from Award Ceremony held last week.

Looking forward for your continued wishes, blessings and cooperation.

About: The Carl J. Norden-Pfizer Distinguished Teacher Award is presented annually to a faculty member at each college or school of veterinary medicine in the United States. It is the most prestigious teaching award in Veterinary Medicine. The award is named in honor of Carl J. Norden, founder of Norden Laboratories. Since 1963, the award has been sponsored by Pfizer Animal Health. The company donates more than $1.5 million each year to veterinary colleges in the form of scholarships, research grants and products as part of its commitment to the future of veterinary profession and educational mission of veterinary colleges. Award nominees are selected by their individual colleges, while a selection committee at the AAVMC chooses the national honoree. The Association of American Veterinary Medical Colleges (AAVMC) coordinates the national and international affairs of all veterinary medical colleges in the United States and Canada, nine departments of veterinary science, seven departments of comparative medicine, three veterinary medical education institutions, and seven international colleges of veterinary medicine. AAVMC fosters the teaching, research and service activities of our members, both nationally and internationally. The Associations’ mission is to improve the quality of life for people and animals by advancing veterinary medical education, improving animal health and welfare, strengthening biomedical research, promoting food safety and food security, and enhancing environmental quality.
