Top Teachers Recognized with Krowe, Legg-Mason Awards

The Smith School is recognized as one of the top research institutions in the world, but it is also a place where students can learn from some of the best teachers in the business.

The Krowe Teaching Excellence Awards were established in 1986 to recognize those who have shown superior teaching skills. The Legg-Mason Award in Teaching Innovation is awarded to recognize innovation in classroom instruction that will have a lasting impact on the university. This year the Smith School’s Teaching Enhancement Committee received 124 nominations for 58 Smith School faculty members for the Krowe and Legg Mason awards. Both students and alumni are eligible to enter nominations.
