Established in 1997, the award recognizes distinctive teaching accomplishments of faculty in Arts, Science, and Engineering. This year\u2019s ceremony was held at Feldman Ballroom in Douglass Commons.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe recipients embody all that we value in teaching at the University,\u201d says Dean of the College Jeffrey Runner. \u201cStudents change over the years. We can\u2019t keep doing the same thing. Good teachers react to that and get the best outcome, something these three recipients all have in common.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Thomas Brown (optics), Sina Ghaemmaghami (biology), and Katherine Mannheimer (English) were nominated by the chairs of their respective departments and chosen by Runner; Gloria Culver, dean of the School of Arts and Sciences; and Wendi Heinzelman, dean of the Hajim School for Engineering and Applied Sciences.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZzRPhS4VRPc\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>The Goergen Awards are named for University Trustee and Board Chair Emeritus Robert Goergen \u201960 and his wife, Pamela, who created an endowed fund in 1997 to establish and provide ongoing support for the awards. In 2010, the Goergen Awards program was redesigned to make larger awards focused exclusively on excellence in undergraduate teaching by individual faculty members.<\/p>\n<p>Brown joined the University in 1987 and was promoted to professor of optics in 2008. The native of Ratodero, Pakistan, is a 1975 graduate of Gordon College in Wenham, Massachusetts, and earned his doctorate degree at the University\u2019s Institute of Optics in 1987.<\/p>\n<p>Ghaemmaghami has been an assistant professor of biology since joining the University in 2012. Born in Lexington, Kentucky, but raised in Iran, he earned his bachelor of science degree in biochemistry from McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, in 1997, and his PhD in biochemistry from Duke University in 2001.<\/p>\n<p>Mannheimer joined the faculty in 2006 and has been an associate professor of English since 2012. The Anchorage, Alaska, native received her bachelor\u2019s degree in literature from Harvard University in 2001 and her doctorate degree in comparative literature from Yale in 2006.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_276562\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-276562\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-276562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/2017-09-28_Thomas_Brown_125.jpg\" alt=\"photo of Thomas Brown\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/2017-09-28_Thomas_Brown_125.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/2017-09-28_Thomas_Brown_125-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/2017-09-28_Thomas_Brown_125-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-276562\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Professor of Optics Thomas Brown.
