Two English Professors nominated for Professor of the Year

Prof. Lisa Page
GW English creative writing faculty members Lisa Page and Faye Moskowitz were both nominated for the 2010 Professor of the Year, a distinction awarded by the University’s 450 student athletes. 
Prof. Moskowitz and Prof. Page are among the 25 nominees, while Prof. Page is one of 6 finalists! (Does this sound like March Madness?)
According to Karen Ercole, executive director of academic assistance for GW Athletics, eligible student athletes vote on professors who have demonstrated a commitment to their success in the classroom. Profs. Page and Moskowitz will be honored at a special halftime program during the GW men’s basketball game against the University of Richmond on Wednesday, Feb. 9 at 7. During the program, the winner of the 2010 Professor of the Year award will be announced. 
We hope to see Prof. Page at mid-court at the Smith Center on the 9th!
