Celebrating faculty
Craig W. Schneider, Charles A. Dana Professor of Biology, Emeritus, peers into a microscope in his Trinity College lab circa 2008. A faculty member from 1975 to 2020, Schneider was honored with the Thomas Church Brownell Prize for Teaching Excellence 30 years ago, in 1996.
Did you have a professor who impacted your life? If so, here’s your chance to pay tribute to that faculty member. The Thomas Church Brownell Prize for Teaching Excellence, which recognizes consistently outstanding teaching by a senior faculty member, is awarded annually at Commencement. The prize constitutes one important means by which Trinity honors the teaching excellence of our faculty, central to our mission as a liberal arts college. All alumni are invited to submit nominations for those deemed to exemplify outstanding teaching. Nominations for eligible faculty members—made possible by a gift from the late Paul H. Briger ’61, P’87—should be submitted by Friday, March 6, 2026.
Questions? Please contact Sylvia DeMore, special assistant to the dean of the faculty.
