SAN LUIS OBISPO -- Cal Poly’s chapter of the California Faculty
Association (CFA) has recognized seven faculty members for excellence
in
teaching.
Three lecturers received the 2003-2004 CFA Distinguished Lecturer Award,
and four tenure-track faculty members were named CFA Distinguished
Educators.
Following are the names of the Distinguished Lecturers, the departments
in which they teach, the year they began teaching at Cal Poly, and their
cities of residence:

Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering departments, 1993, San Luis
Obispo

The Cal Poly chapter of the CFA initiated the awards program during the

not eligible for the university’s Distinguished Teaching Award,
according to Phil Fetzer, political science professor and chair of the
CFA Awards Committee.
The recipients are nominated by students and faculty members to
recognize teaching excellence, professional development and service to
the university. This year’s winners will receive a plaque and a
monetary
award from the CFA at the organization’s end-of-the-year barbecue
4 -7
p.m. Tuesday, June 8, at Cuesta Park.
