Four Department of Economics graduate students received the Teaching Excellence award for 2011. The recipeints are (pictured left to right) Kenneth Liao, Ryan Goodrich, Alicia Rosburg, and Wenwen Xi (not pictured).

The purpose of the award is to recognize and encourage outstanding achievement by graduate students in teaching, and up to 10% of the graduate students involved in teaching are recognized each year. Recipients will also be recognized at the time of their graduation – each will be given an honor cord, cited in the ISU Commencement Program and recognized during the ceremony; the award is also noted on the student's transcript.
