Alumni Distinguished Undergraduate Teaching Award (ADUTA):
ADUTA is the only teaching award at Duke bestowed entirely by students. Duke's Alumni Association (DAA) works with a randomly selected group of undergraduates to solicit nominations from the student body. The DAA participates as facilitator. A student selection committee makes the choice.
The award recognizes professors who are original, creative, and clear in their approach to the classroom; and who foster an environment for learning that promotes intellectual curiosity, personal growth and achievement. They are driven to stay abreast of current research and development in their field to keep the teaching experience informative and make learning applicable.
