ACTR Teaching Excellence Award for Post-Secondary Instructors
Previous Awardees

2023

Olga Thomason, University of Georgia
Dr. Olga Thomason has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to her students' linguistic and cultural growth, to her own profesional development, to the field of Russian language pedagogy, to promotion of the languages and cultures of the Russophone world, and to diversity, equity, and inclusion in the classroom. In addition to being an inspiring teacher in the classroom, Dr. Thomason also mentors undergraduate and graduate students who engage in independent research on the Russophone world. She believes that collaboration between faculty and students benefits mentors as much as their mentees. Through her teaching and mentoring, Dr. Thomason plays a key role in the UGS Flagship program and has also been instrumental in securing a number of federal grants to support the teaching and learning of Russian.
