Responses were received from thousands of students in recognition of educators who have positively impacted their lives.
All award winners receive a commemorative award, certificate, and letter that includes details from the student they were nominated by. Davis and the other recipients will also be invited to participiate in a virtual event celebrating this year’s winners on Wednesday, Oct. 21, featuring the following special guest speakers from UChicago: President Robert Zimmer, Provost Ka Yee C. Lee, and Trustee Greg Wendt.
