Lynn Bateman Memorial Teaching Award and Fellowship

The parents of Lynn Bateman donated the funds that support these two awards. They did so to honor their daughter, Lynn, who was an excellent teacher for the Department of Mathematics, 1985 - 1988. We remember Lynn for her dedication to the teaching of mathematics and her commitment to our department.

For those individuals who demonstrate the intelligence and determination that Lynn brought to her work, this annual award is given to a graduate student who has excelled in teaching, has contributed to department service, and has gone beyond the basic requirements of a teaching assistantship.

Award Criteria

• Demonstrated excellent teaching ability. Factors used to determine this may include course evaluations, comments from course captains, and classroom observations by faculty members.
• At least two semesters as a University of Colorado Denver TA, and at least one semester as a UC Denver TA in the preceding calendar year.
