Sarah Curtis | Department of Music | School of Music | 2022-2023 Carlin Graduate Teaching Assistant Award | "Teaching has enriched my life in a way that I didn't realize was possible. Getting to watch my students grow and develop in their applied lessons is such a fun, rewarding experience. Knowing that I've helped them learn something new about themselves or find more confidence in their abilities are the best parts of my day!"

Rebecca Griffith | Department of Clinical Child Psychology Program | College of Liberal Arts and Sciences | "Teaching, to me, is about inspiring the next generation. My favorite and most inspiring teachers are the ones who were most passionate about the subject matter. It was infectious. I wanted to learn more outside the classroom and push myself harder within it. I have shared those same vigorous passions with my students here at KU and I can't wait to see the impact they make in the field of psychology."
