<b>recognizes exceptional teaching demonstrated by a graduate student as a Teaching Assistant or Associate-In during Spring 2022, Fall 2022, or Winter 2023</b>. While Outstanding Teaching Assistant (OTA) Awards are determined by the department and have as many

award period. DTA <b>recipients are recognized with an award and receive a monetary prize</b>. </span></span><span class="eop"><span style="color:black"> </span></span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
