Espy-Wilson, Briber Honored for Passion for Learning

Professor Carol Espy-Wilson (electrical and computer engineering and Institute for Systems Research) and Professor and Chair Rob Briber (materials science and engineering) are two of this year's University of Maryland Distinguished Scholar-Teacher honorees.

The Distinguished Scholar-Teacher Program recognizes faculty members who have demonstrated outstanding scholarly achievement along with equally outstanding accomplishments as teachers. Nominees for the award are selected by their peers; the winners are chosen by a panel of former Distinguished Scholar-Teachers. Scholar-Teachers bring a passion for learning to their colleagues and students, and represent what a professor at a world-class university should be.

Espy-Wilson and Briber will officially be recognized at the UMD Faculty and Staff Convocation in the fall semester.
