Donna B. Hamilton Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching in GenEd Goes to History Prof

The Department of History is pleased to announce that Rob Chiles has been selected to receive the Donna B. Hamilton Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching in a General Education Course

Awards are based solely on student nominations and are solicited from across campus. From the many nominations received, the selection committee was most impressed by the student experience in Rob's courses HIST200 and HIST201.

Here is an excerpt from a student nomination:

“Dr. Chiles was so engaging and really cared if you grasped the material. He would take time to make sure we also observed identities who are often left out of history even sometimes in the course structure. He was inspiring and always full of energy.”

Rob will receive a cash award and will be acknowledged at the Office of Undergraduate Studies Recognition Awards Ceremony on Tuesday, May 2, 2023, at 3:00 pm, in the Prince George’s Room in the Stamp Student Union. 

Congratulations Rob!
