[Sci-tech-public] Siegel Teaching Prize: Peter Doshi

[David Kaiser]

Hello, all,

I am pleased to announce that the Siegel Teaching Prize for 2011 goes  
to very recent graduate, Peter Doshi.  The Siegel Teaching Prize was  
established four years ago to recognize HASTS graduate students who  
have excelled as instructors of MIT undergraduates.  It carries an  
award of $2500.

In the words of the selection committee:

“We are happy to award the Siegel Teaching Prize to graduate student  
Peter Doshi. In Spring 2011, in Neuroscience and Society, Peter  
excelled. He dealt with more than the usual number of administrative  
and logistical issues. He also received outstanding evaluations from  
recitation students for his infectious enthusiasm on the subject  
matter and his ability to engage the students while encouraging them  
to bring their own experiences and ideas to the discussion. Perhaps  
most importantly he responded winningly to the call of duty when his  
supervising professor was confined to bed-rest, effectively taking on  
double the duties for which he had initially signed-on.  
Congratulations Peter!!”

Thanks also to Sherry Turkle and Hanna Rose Shell who sat on the Prize  
Committee.

Congratulations again to Peter!

best,
Dave
