April 12, 2013
Since joining the faculty in 2002, Professor Harbron
has taught more than 1,400 students in courses ranging from freshman
organic chemistry to senior- and graduate-level organic spectroscopy,
consistently earning both excellent student evaluations and becoming the
highest-rated faculty member in the Chemistry Department. Her teaching
and mentoring of student extends into the laboratory, where she
regularly incorporates student coworkers into her research projects.
Eleven students have appeared as coauthors on her publications; and, on
average, four students graduate from her lab each year. She also
averages two or three Honors students per year, and her number of Honors
students is the largest in Chemistry over the last few years. Past
recognition of her outstanding teaching includes the Thomas Jefferson
Teaching Award, 2011; a University Professorship for Teaching
Excellence, 2011; and the Alumni Fellowship Award, 2008. It is fitting
that she now be recognized with the Arts and Sciences 2013 Faculty Award
for Teaching Excellence.
