Yesterday I received an award from the UAlbany Physics Department. The award is the C.L. Andrews Teaching Assistant Of The Year Award. Here’s a shot of me receiving it from Professor Caticha at yesterdays 2009 recognition ceremony:
< Score!
I was quite happy to receive this. It was both a complete surprise (I am not even a TA anymore) and an honor since I feel the department is using the award as a “thank you” for the teaching I have done these past four semesters. If you look at the picture you may notice a cheque in my hand as well – it was very generous, and the timing is perfect considering our trip next week!
I think perhaps this will go down as my second most esteemed award I have yet received in my lifetime. I have to get cracking if I one day want to receive an award surpassing the Bishop Leo Clarke Award For Leadership (1989 recipient) 🙂
Congrats, mate. Obviously teaching is in yer blood 🙂
Congratulations.
I trust that the cheque will be put towards a good use in Japan. You might just be a future recipient of the coveted Brother Bernard Award For Gifting Large Quantities Of Origami Paper.
omg you look so respectable! o.O
is that a sports jacket?
XD
I think it is yes!
My shoes look dirty…
Congratulations!
We are very proud of you. You look very neat and tidy. You deserve the award because as your parents we know you put everything in whatever you
do.
Love Your proud Mum & Dad.
ps Loved the card for M D, showed it to a few friends and they had a great laugh.
