The Center for Teaching Excellence (CTE) has announced this year’s Montague-CTE Scholars. This marks the 34th year of this prestigious award, which celebrates outstanding achievements in teaching excellence.
The Montague-CTE Scholars Award is named in honor of Kenneth Montague ’37, a distinguished alumnus and outstanding trustee of Texas A&M University Development Foundation, who had a long and storied career in the Texas oil industry. Ken and Judy Montague endowed a generous gift in 1991 to benefit the future “Ken Montagues,” Aggies who are lifelong learners and contributors to their communities. The Center is deeply grateful to his son, Jim, and wife, Vicki, for their generous and continued support that recognizes excellence in teaching and learning at Texas A&M University.
Each year, the Montague-CTE Scholars Award is bestowed upon 10 tenure-track assistant professors who demonstrate exceptional passion and early success in teaching undergraduate students. Awardees receive a $6,500 grant to further enhance their commitment to teaching excellence.
To date, this honor has been awarded to over 300 faculty members. This year’s recipients are:
