Since 1991, the President has given annual awards to four faculty members who have shown a sustained record of distinguished achievement in undergraduate and/or graduate teaching at Princeton. The awards were established through a gift by Princeton alumni Lloyd Cotsen of the Class of 1950 and John Sherrerd of the Class of 1952 to recognize excellence in undergraduate teaching by Princeton faculty members. Each winner receives a cash prize of $5,000, and their departments each receive $3,000 for the purchase of new books. A committee of faculty, academic administrators, undergraduates and graduate students selected the winners from nominations by students, faculty colleagues and alumni. 2025 President’s Award for Distinguished Teaching Recipients 2025 Recipients Rebecca Carey Gabriel Crouch Danelle Devenport Nathaniel Fisch 2024 Recipients Laura Kalin Seth Perry Clancy Rowley Gary Bass 2023 Recipients Jesse Gomez Rosina Lozano Claire White Tamsen Wolff 2022 Recipients Anne Cheng Lauren Coyle Rosen Peter Ramadge Matthew Weinberg 2021 Recipients Neta Bahcall Elizabeth Gavis James Richardson Rory Truex 2019 Recipients Brigid Doherty Mariangela Lisanti Michael Pratt Ned Wingreen 2017 Recipients Ruha Benjamin Robert A.
