Notre Dame selected 44 outstanding undergraduate faculty members as recipients of Kaneb Teaching Awards. Created with a gift from Notre Dame Trustee John A. Kaneb, the awards are apportioned among the faculty of the University's four undergraduate colleges and the School of Architecture. Each academic unit has its own criteria for the awards, but all include student input, such as the results of student teacher course evaluations.

Because their intent is to recognize teaching excellence that is demonstrated over time, the awards are given to faculty who have been active full time in undergraduate teaching for at least five years. The awards include a cash prize of $1,000.

The Kaneb Teaching Award recipients for last year were:

College of Arts and Letters: Susan G. Sheridan, anthropology; Robert A. Vacca, classical languages and literatures; Esther-Mirjam Sent, economics; Matthew F. Benedict and William J. Krier, English; Kevin C. Dreyer, film, television and theatre; Rev. Timothy R. Scully, C.S.C., government; James Smyth, history; Craig Cramer, music; William M. Ramsey and Alasdair MacIntyre, philosophy; Anita E. Kelly and Anre Venter, psychology; AnaMaria R. Goulet and Barbara Mangione, Romance languages and literatures; Daniel Myers and Andrew J. Weigert, sociology; and John C. Cavadini, Bradley J. Malkovsky and Joseph P. Wawrykow, theology.
