Sandra GreerSandra Greer, Clark School professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering with a joint appointment in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, is the recipient of this year's Poole & Kent Outstanding Teaching Award for Senior Faculty. Greer was selected because of her advocacy for, and teaching of, research ethics and professional ethics; for her teaching of chemistry to engineers; for her mentoring of undergraduates in research; and for her commitment to improving the climate for female students. Greer practically invented the first ethics course on the campus—a course that has been regularly taught ever since and always has a waiting list. She has been a frequent guest lecturer on the same topic in other courses. In addition, Greer has taught a large, entry-level chemistry class each fall, and constantly involves undergraduates in her research group. Greer also has played a major role in attracting and retaining female students, starting twenty years ago in her work for the President's Committee on Undergraduate Women's Education—work that has an influence on the campus to this day. Students have noted Greer's drive and enthusiasm in her teaching. Alumni have written to thank her for her ethics course, as they take what they have learned into the field.
