The Edward S. Diggs Teaching Scholar Awards were established in 1992 to recognize outstanding teaching and exceptional contributions to the teaching program and learning environment. The Diggs Scholars are dedicated to promoting excellence, imagination and commitment to teaching and student learning. The awardees each receive a plaque, and they and their departments each receive a $500 cash award. Each academic year (it has been in the Fall Semester since 1997) the newest awardees lead the Diggs Roundtable, a series of presentations and a discussion relating to their recent work. Following is a list of the Diggs Teaching Scholars, departmental affiliations and years of award, as well as the Diggs Professors. Links to homepages are provided where available:
