Please join us in congratulating Serena McDiarmid (Ph.D. Candidate, Developmental Psychology) who is a recipient of the 2025 Amit & Meena Chakma Award for Exceptional Teaching by a Student (AETS). Serena has done an exceptional job teaching Introductory Psychology (Psych 101), Developmental Psychology (Psych 211), and an interdisciplinary “Wicked Problems” course (Psych 390). Serena seamlessly integrates her research (on school and community belonging) and teaching in a way that fosters exceptional levels of engagement and enthusiasm among her students. In addition to her own teaching, Serena worked as an educational developer at the CTE where she coached more junior graduate students as they practiced and developed their own teaching. Congratulations, Serena!
