Over the past 15 years, the CAT has celebrated the dedication and accomplishment of Wake Forest teacher-scholars who have distinguished themselves in the classroom. The CAT Teaching Award recognized those who put forth exceptional effort to enhance student learning through the introduction of creative, evidence-informed teaching strategies. The recipients of the award received $1,000 each and were honored at a public reception each spring.
The 2019-2020 Academic Year was the final year the CAT administered these awards.
