BEHREND'S CORTY RECEIVES TEACHING AWARD
Dr. Eric M. Corty, associate professor of psychology at Penn State Erie,
The Behrend College, has received the 2001 Alumni Teaching Fellow Award
for Outstanding Teaching. He will receive the award at the Faculty/Staff
Awards Recognition ceremony at University Park on Monday, March 26.
This university-wide award was established in 1985 to recognize
distinguished teaching and to provide a forum for encouraging effective
teaching. Only tenured faculty with at least five years of teaching
experience at Penn State are eligible for the award.
"Dr. Corty's students and colleagues have always recognized his
teaching skill," said Dr. Clare Porac, director of the School of
Humanities and Social Sciences at Penn State Behrend. "I am pleased
that Penn State has honored him for his work."
The Alumni Teaching Fellow Award is made possible by the Penn State
Alumni Association. Recipients of the award are asked to share their
talents and expertise with others throughout the University system.
Yearlong responsibilities may include such activities as participating
in workshops and symposia, giving lectures or presentations on teaching
techniques for new faculty and graduate assistants, taking part in
discussions or seminars with students in the Schreyer Honors College, or
teaching honors courses.
