Thomas W. Briggs Foundation Excellence in Teaching Award
Dennis Laumann

Laumann teaches world civilizations, African history, and Honors Programs seminars on Marxism and Che Guevara. Dr. Laumann exemplifies the ideals of the award: a talented and committed teacher, a mentor and friend to undergraduates, and a positive force on the campus culture, writes Dr. Aram Goudsouzian in his nomination. He presents the complex themes of religion, time, culture, and economic and political development with impressive clarity, as well as a gift for humor, he says. Laumann also is a committed adviser who helps oversee the African Students Association. In addition, he takes a group of students to Ghana each summer for the University's study abroad program.
