UCLA’s top teachers recognized at ceremony at Chancellor’s residence
Design Media Arts Professor Casey Reas receives award
Professor Casey Reas, a pioneer in the convergence of art and programming, has been honored by the UCLA Academic Senate as one of the best teachers on campus. Reas received the 2018 Distinguished Teaching Award for Senate Faculty from the UCLA Academic Senate. “UCLA’s greatest asset is our talented and motivated students,” Reas said. “During my 15 years teaching in the Department of Design Media Arts, working with our amazing students has enriched my artistic and research practices and has been completely engaging. I’m grateful to UCLA for its emphasis on teaching and to my extraordinary colleagues in Design Media Arts for their collaboration.”
"The recipients of UCLA’s highest honor for teaching, the Distinguished Teaching Awards, were honored by the UCLA Academic Senate at the Andrea L. Rich Night to Honor Teaching awards ceremony at the Chancellor’s residence on Oct. 25. The winners were selected in three categories: senate faculty members, non-senate faculty members and teaching assistants.
