Each year, newly admitted UChicago students have the opportunity to reflect on their time in school and nominate an educator who played a significant role in their education, made a positive impact in their lives and whose influence has brought them to where they are today.

According to the press release: The University of Chicago is honored to recognize excellence in teaching and sincerely congratulates this year’s Outstanding Educator Award winners, who are exceptional in their field and role models for all students. The University deeply appreciates the lively minds who thirst for knowledge that these educators have nurtured and inspired. We thank the Outstanding Educators for going above and beyond the call of duty every day and leaving an impression that will be carried over a lifetime.

Mrs. Fippin was nominated by Bernadette Broscius ’21 who attends the University of Chicago as a Questbridge National College Match Scholarship recipient.
