UI Chemistry Prof Gets Teaching Honor

University of Idaho officials say chemistry professor Steven D. Gammon is a good example of what a college professor should be.

“He is able to make chemistry, and science in general, interesting and understandable to elementary school children as well as graduate students through his thorough knowledge of the subject, creative use of technology and enthusiasm,” said Acting President Thomas Bell.

Gammon, who joined the University of Idaho faculty in 1991, has been named Idaho Professor of the Year by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching.

Gammon will receive a cash award from First Security Bank and new computer equipment.
