Associate Professor of History Gerald Gill, a familiar name on campus recognized for teaching popular classes and supporting relevant causes, has earned much esteem over the years.
This year, he was tangibly recognized for all of his efforts. Gill was named the University's first- ever Professor of the Year.
Created by the Education Committee of the Tufts Community Union (TCU) Senate, the intent of the award is to let professors know that their hard work and efforts are appreciated by the student body.
Nominations were open to all students, and the final decision was made by a select TCU committee. Gill received an overwhelming majority among the nominees.
Gill's classes are always among the most popular of the semester. He currently teaches Recent American History, African American History, and The American South. Despite the heavy workload, large amounts of reading, and difficult exams associated with his classes, many students feel that the energy put into the courses s worth it to experience Gill as a professor.
