Dr. Guy Caldwell, associate professor of biological sciences at UA, was recently named the state’s 2005 Professor of the Year by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and the Council for Advancement and Support of Education, known as CASE.

Caldwell, who was selected for outstanding teaching from among nearly 400 top professors in the United States, was honored Nov. 17 in ceremonies in Washington, D.C., followed by a congressional reception in the Library of Congress.

“He sets the standard for undergraduate teaching and mentoring at The University of Alabama, both inside and outside the classroom,” said UA President Robert E. Witt in a letter supporting Caldwell’s selection. “Guy Caldwell exemplifies the challenging, caring and inspiring academic life we seek to create for students.”
