Senior class nominates six finalists for HOPE

The senior class has nominated five faculty members as finalists for the HOPE Award. The award, Honor for Outstanding Progressive Educator, will be presented at the Nov. 14 home football game against Nebraska.

The nominees are:

• Kerry Benson, lecturer in journalism

• Matthew Beuchner, associate professor of molecular biosciences

• Mark Haug, lecturer in business

• Diane Nielsen, associate professor of curriculum and teaching

• Misty Schieberle, assistant professor of English

• Kelly Welch, lecturer in business

The HOPE Award is the only KU award for teaching excellence bestowed exclusively by students. The senior class also selects the winner. The Class of 1959 established the award to recognize outstanding teaching and concern for students.

Senior class members select the winner by ballot and interviews. The winner receives a monetary award and recognition on a permanent plaque on display in the Kansas Union.
