Distinguished Teaching Award Announced
The Department of Psychology is delighted to announce that Erik Woody has won a UW Distinguished Teacher Award!
Department Chair, Mike Dixon, notes: "Having had the opportunity to read some of the testimonials for Erik, and having heard about Erik's teaching from both undergraduate and graduate students, I note that Erik's outstanding teaching has shaped not just the precision of thinking but often the very careers of students passing through our department. His training of students at both the undergraduate and graduate level is simply superb.
The University's Daily Bulletin reported "Erik Woody, clinical psychology professor specializing in statistics and psychometry, is said to have achieved the unthinkable: getting Psych 800 students to laugh out loud."
Erik's award will be formally presented at the UW Spring 2006 Convocation and to round out this unique honour, his picture will be added to Psych's "wall of fame" where we have honoured previous distinguished teachers, Barbara Bulman-Fleming, Geoff Fong and Gary Griffin.
On behalf of our faculty, staff and students we take this opportunity to congratulate Erik on this great accomplishment. Erik has, in the words of Robertson Davies, "chalk dust in his veins", and for that we know his students are extremely grateful, and his colleagues are extremely proud.
Well done Erik!
