Graduate students Grayson Hoy and Alexa Williams were awarded 2023-24 Prize Teaching Fellowships. The award, considered a significant honor bestowed by Yale, recognizes outstanding performance and promise as a teacher.
Hoy and Williams were nominated by undergraduate students and faculty based on their exceptional work as teaching fellows assisting in teaching undergraduate chemistry courses.
The award comes with a cash prize, and all the recipients were honored in a celebratory dinner hosted by the Dean of the Graduate School and Dean of Yale College in October.
