The Center for Teaching and Learning at UGA administers the Outstanding Teaching Assistant Award, sponsored by the Vice President for Instruction. This award recognizes the top 10% of teaching assistants demonstrating superior teaching skills while serving the classroom. Dot Eum(Rachel) Kim and Emily Lee, both teaching assistants in the Korean Language Program, have recently received Outstanding Teaching Awards. Congratulations to Emily and Rachel.

The Comparative Literature Department is operating on a reduced on-campus schedule to adhere to the social distancing practices. We are, however, working via telecommuting resources and other remote work arrangements. The department email is also being checked on a regular basis, so please send us an email at cmlt@uga.edu if we are able to help in any way. 

At this time, all study abroad programs have been suspended. 

Ms. Minh Trang Thi Nguyen, the instructor of Vietnamese in the department, is this year's recipient of the Franklin College Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching Award. The award recognizes a faculty member who has made a life-changing impact on students through sustained commitment to high-quality instruction in undergraduate teaching. Her students have played a crucial role in nominating her for the award. 

At the end of the fall semester, the Department of Comparative Literature and Intercultural Studies presented Dong Yang and Soudabeh Rafieisakhaei with a Certificate of Excellence Award in Language and Literature for their outstanding dedication to teaching and helping the department to fulfill its mission by providing students with instruction of the highest quality.
