cucciarre, English, UD, University of Delaware

photo of Christine CucciarreAssociate professor of English and CRR Christine Cucciarre is one of four recipients of this year’s Excellence in Teaching Awards at the University of Delaware. In her own words:

“I want those who were confident coming into my class to realize that there was, and is, more to learn about writing, and those who lacked confidence to know that they have the ability to think and write. And I really try to get them to see writing differently, as a process for making sense of all the new things they are learning.” See full story.

Let’s hear it for those who can both write and teach writing as well as run. Congratulations, Christine.
