Congratulations to Theresa Gozzo, who was selected for the UW Excellence in Teaching Award! This award is given to only two teaching assistants from the entire University of Washington.
Gozzo’s primary goal is to create more productive and positive learning experiences by establishing a classroom where students spend less time struggling alone. In this positive environment, Gozzo fosters each student’s growth as a chemist by sharing her own knowledge of the material, offering encouragement and emphasizing that mistakes are a valuable part of growth.
