Daniel Lassiter was recognized with the UVA Distinguished Teaching Award in STEM, an award given to one STEM nominee across the University each year. In his time at UVA, Daniel has served as a TA for Civil Techniques, Water Resources Engineering, and Environmental Systems Modeling and Management. Across all these courses, Daniel has sought to make students feel safe, supported and confident in their ability to learn the material. His efforts were greatly appreciated by students and professors alike. All three course professors requested Daniel as a TA, while students commented on his ability to support their learning, meet them where they were at, and “help them grow from there, … shift[ing] his teaching technique depending on how each student best learned.” Congratulations Daniel on this well-earned award!
