Dr Steve Hines to be Presented with the SAVMA Teaching Excellence
Award posted April 2007
Each year, the Student AVMA presents two Teaching Excellence Awards
(TEAs) to recognize outstanding veterinary faculty members in the areas of
basic and clinical sciences. The TEA is a unique award, in that it is one of
the few national awards that are entirely student nominated and chosen. WSU
juniors, Maci Keithly and Emily Wynne, successfully nominated Dr. Stephen
Hines for the 2007 basic sciences award.
The students wrote essay responses to questions such as, "Give examples of
methods that this instructor uses to generate enthusiasm for their subject"
and "Describe the instructor's use of innovative teaching techniques". Maci
and Emily selected Dr. Hines as a candidate through the overwhelming support
from their classmates. Many students at WSU have been affected by his love
of teaching, exemplary leadership (in and out of the classroom), mentorship,
and dedication to make a difference. Many WSU students hope that Dr. Hines
has many more years of teaching left in him!! He will be honored in front
his colleagues at an awards ceremony at the AVMA Annual Convention in
Washington D.C. this summer.

country," said Carnegie Foundation president Lee S. Shulman.
