The Outstanding Graduate Student Instructor (OGSI) Award honors students across campus for their exceptional teaching work. Each year, the Mathematics Department proudly recognizes a new cohort of OGSIs.
2025 Mathematics Outstanding Graduate Student Instructors
Nomination statements reveal the impact GSIs have on the undergraduate learning experience. OGSIs are nominated not only for the abilities they bring into the classroom (e.g. skill in presenting course materials, command of the subject area, etc.) but also for the empathy and consideration they give to their students.
