University of New Mexico Associate Professor of Linguistics and Hispanic Linguistics Naomi Shin has been awarded the prestigious 2020 Arts and Sciences Teaching Excellence Award. 

“This award is a tremendous honor to me. I care so deeply about teaching and supporting students, so to know that that effort matters and perhaps even makes a small difference in this world is truly rewarding,” Shin said.

This award highlights those who contribute “outstanding contributions to the College’s instructional mission” according to the Arts and Sciences website, and is evaluated on “the basis of the breadth, as well as the quality of their instructional contributions” with preference given to those demonstrating instructional excellence at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.
