The winner of the 2021 Trustees teaching award is Richard Nance. He is renowned for both his captivating lectures in Introduction to Buddhism and his careful guidance in upper level and graduate seminars. The details, clarity, and striking images in his powerpoints are matched only by the extraordinary thoroughness of his course bibliographies. The style and skill that animate his lectures attest to his training in the dramatic arts and some background in musical performance. These talents pair well with his exceptional ability to detect the weaknesses as well as strengths in any argument and the disarming frankness of his thorough comments on student papers.
Congratulations, Rick!
