Dr.Davis-Secord wins this year's Regent’s Outstanding Teaching Award.

Professor Jon Davis-Secord has just won the prestigious Regents' Outstanding Teaching Award, which will be presented to him in Austin at a special ceremony in August. This award is given to a very few distinguished teachers throughout the University of Texas System, and is one of its very highest honors.

From UT Austin's Site:

The UT System’s vision as an “institution of the first class” includes a commitment to continuous improvement in the quality of the education its faculty provides to its students. Various programs exist at the institution and System levels to recognize teaching excellence, but few focus exclusively on undergraduate education. The Board of Regents places the highest priority on undergraduate teaching at System universities. They wish to encourage teaching excellence by recognizing those faculty who deliver the highest quality of undergraduate instruction, demonstrate their commitment to teaching, and have a history and promising future of sustained excellence with undergraduate teaching in the classroom, in the laboratory, in the field, or online.
