LBJ School Lecturer Gary Chapman and Teaching Assistant Suho Bae captured this year's Texas Excellence Teaching Awards (TETAs) and were recognized at a ceremony held on February 20.
Administered by the UT Ex-Students' Association, the awards are part of a university-wide program that promotes excellence in teaching by recognizing outstanding faculty members, teaching assistants, and advisers. Students select all recipients.

During the presentation, TETA selection committee member Xinxhua Zhang said the LBJ School was fortunate to have Chapman, who teaches seminars on technology policy and heads the 21st Century Project. Zhang praised Chapman's ability to engage students in class discussions about critical policy and technology issues and described him as "irreplaceable."
While presenting Bae with his award, second-year student Philip Schlesinger described Bae's "extreme enthusiasm and patience" in helping students with the rigorous coursework of applied quantitative analysis (AQA).
"He has impressed his fellow classmates with his hard work, long office hours, and general diligence and devotion to ensuring that other students have mastered the often-difficult mechanics of AQA," said Schlesinger.
