Jennifer McCrickerd, associate professor of philosophy, was recently selected as an American Association of Philosophy Teachers Teaching Fellow. The two-year fellowship includes a $500 honorarium and is given to devoted, excellent philosophy teachers. She is one of two professors selected nationwide.

“I decided to apply for the honor because I think that teaching is the most important thing that we do in higher education and I think philosophers have some good things to say about teaching,” says McCrickerd.
