The Faculty Spotlight is a way to feature outstanding educators at UCSC who have received the Excellence in Teaching Award. Each interview gives an insight into the experiences, successes, and innovations of different faculty members to showcase what’s happening around campus.

This page contains previews of all the interviews. To view a faculty member’s page, click on their name, or use the Faculty Spotlight menu. Each faculty page includes an extended interview, their written teaching statement, and some sample course materials.
