Dr. Richard Maguire Receives Award for Teaching Excellence

The College of Global Studies is delighted to announce that Dr. Richard Maguire of Arcadia in London has received our 2014 Award for Teaching Excellence. In addition to teaching at the Arcadia in London Center, Dr. Maguire co-facilitates our Academic Studio which supports students in their writing and academic decision-making across the Arcadia European program portfolio.

Andrew Law, the Academic Dean of The College, had kind words to say of his colleague. "Richard is a thoughtful and committed teacher, enriching student learning both in and outside the classroom.” He continued, “Richard's bold approach of challenging students (and colleagues!) to critically reflect on the context in which they find themselves results in high levels of participation, learning, and enjoyment among Arcadia in London students. Richard is one of the pillars of the Arcadia London program."

The Award for Teaching Excellence is given annually in recognition of the faculty member who makes outstanding contributions to the education of students in The College of Global Studies, by accumulating an impressive record of effective teaching, documented through various methods such as peer and student reviews and by demonstrating innovative and creative approaches to teaching and learning in education abroad.
