Cooper Teaching Award presented to veteran professor
|
Augustine J. “Jay” Fredrich, who has been on the University of Southern Indiana faculty since 1979, is this year’s recipient of the H. Lee Cooper Core Curriculum Teaching Award, an award that recognizes teaching in the University core courses that has been creative and successful. Fredrich retired this year as professor of engineering and associate dean of the Pott School of Science and Engineering. In retirement, he will continue to teach a cathedrals course he developed that is offered as part of the core curriculum. The course on cathedrals is one of the University’s most popular courses. Fredrich teaches both an undergraduate and a graduate version of the course. As the Cooper Award winner, Fredrich will deliver a presentation to the campus community this academic year. The topic will be the cathedrals course. The Cooper Award is named in honor of H. Lee Cooper, Evansville philanthropist and longtime USI supporter. It includes a generous stipend, a plaque, and additional monies for travel and related faculty development. The University Core Council selected the winner from peer nominations. All USI students, regardless of major, must complete at least 50 credit hours of courses in the core curriculum. |
