DR. DEBORAH CASSIDY IS UNCG WINNER OF
BOARD OF GOVERNORS TEACHING AWARD
GREENSBORO -- Dr. Deborah J. Cassidy, an associate professor of human development and family studies at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro, has been named the winner of a 1999-2000 Board of Governors Award for Excellence in Teaching.
Cassidy is one of 16 UNC system faculty members selected for the awards. Each faculty member was presented with a bronze medallion and a $7,500 cash prize during a special academic convocation on Friday, April 14, in Chapel Hill. The awards were presented by UNC President Molly Corbett Broad and Board of Governors Chairman Benjamin S. Ruffin.
The UNC Board of Governors established the awards in 1994 to ?underscore the importance of teaching and to encourage, identify, recognize and reward good teaching within the University.? The awards are given annually, with one going to a faculty member from each of the 16 UNC campuses.
?I am highly pleased with the selection of Dr. Deborah Cassidy as UNCG?s recipient of a 1999-00 Board of Governors Award for Excellence in Teaching,? said UNCG Chancellor Patricia A. Sullivan. ?Superior teaching has been a source of special pride on our campus for many years, and Dr. Cassidy is a most worthy recipient of this award.
?In addition to her teaching skills, Dr. Cassidy has held wide-ranging administrative responsibilities in our academic programs. Students have described her as sensitive, energetic, and enthusiastic and a great motivator. She is an academic leader and innovator at UNCG.?
Cassidy teaches both undergraduate and graduate courses in the Department of Human Development and Family Studies in the School of Human Environmental Sciences. As a teacher, she has developed strong links between her teaching, her ongoing research and her involvement in the community and state. She has been director of the Child Care Education Project since coming to UNCG. The project provides a model child care facility and laboratory experience for undergraduate and graduate students in child development, early childhood education and related fields. She also does all-day, in-service training sessions for birth-kindergarten teachers in Guilford and Rockingham counties.
Current and former students had praise for Cassidy?s teaching. One undergraduate said of her class, ?Dr. Cassidy is enthusiastic about the subject matter. She is a great motivator. I know that I will use almost everything I have learned in this class with my students some day.? A former graduate student, who is now an assistant professor at the University of Delaware said, ?I hope I am able to someday emulate Dr. Cassidy in her challenging teaching style, the supportive and respectful manner with which she treats all students, her research ability and her commitment to service.?
She has combined teaching and advising duties with administrative appointments and roles as principal investigator in two recent, large grants. Last year, as a result of new legislation, she received a $2.3 million grant from the N.C. Division of Child Development to evaluate and rate the quality of childcare statewide. She coordinated the N.C. Child Care Corps, which was funded by a $429,000 grant from the Corporation for National Service. From that, she has published a series of papers, coauthored with graduate students, on the project as a successful university-community partnership and as a strategy for addressing the nation?s child care crisis. She also was active in bringing the Center for Childcare Workforce, and its extensive research agenda, to UNCG. Cassidy is a graduate of Northern Illinois University and holds the Ph.D. degree from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
To be eligible for the Board of Governors Teaching Excellence Award, faculty nominees must have earned tenure at their institutions and taught on the campus for at least seven years. The recipient must have demonstrated excellent or exceptional teaching over a sustained period of time. A faculty member can receive the award only once while teaching at any UNC institution. Each campus developed a detailed plan for selection of its award winner. At UNCG, a committee composed of faculty members, undergraduate and graduate students made the final selection from nominees who previously had received UNCG Alumni Teaching Excellence Awards.
