For Scott Lemos, every course is an opportunity for both himself and his students to learn and grow together.
Lemos, a lecturer in the management department, has developed a passion for research and curriculum development. His ability to do both effectively recently earned him the Peter T. Paul College of Business and Economics 2023 Excellence in Teaching Award for Lecturer Faculty.
Professor Peter Lane, chair of the management department, nominated Lemos for the award, highlighting his ability to transform the curriculum of introductory courses, and positive teaching evaluations from students who praised Lemos for teaching style and engagement.
“Scott has taken what are typically relatively dry, lecture-driven courses and designed them in a way that maximizes student interaction with the material, each other and the instructor to both build community and drive higher-quality learning,” Lane wrote in his nomination.
