It’s important to teach students what you know. It’s perhaps even more important to communicate the enthusiasm you bring to learning so that your students might understand how that passion makes lifelong learning one of the deepest gifts.

"Dartmouth professors are unparalleled in their commitment to educating their students. Even so, with their packed schedules it is a rare professor who is able to dedicate equal time to teaching alumni many years after they leave the classroom.

Steve Swayne, the Jacob H. Strauss 1922 Professor of Music; and Don Pease, the Ted and Helen Geisel Third Century Professor in the Humanities, Chair of the Master of Arts in Liberal Studies Program, and professor of English and comparative literature, have done just that during their tenure at the College.

During the 214th meeting of the Alumni Council on May 19, the Academic Affairs Committee presented Pease and Swayne with the inaugural Professor John Rassias Faculty Award for their exceptional educational outreach to alumni."
