Alumni Association Distinguished Teaching Award
Yuki Matsuda

Born in Osaka, Japan, Dr. Yuki Matsuda joined the University of Memphis faculty in 2000. She directs the Japanese language and linguistic courses. Professor Matsuda also teaches advanced Japanese courses in the International MBA program and has served as both a consultant to the Japan Foundation and as a board member of the College Board’s first AP Japanese Development Committee. The chair of the Department of Foreign Language and Literatures credits her “high energy level, genuine devotion and sensitivity to her students’ needs as well as her diverse pedagogical strategies” for growing enrollment in Japanese language courses more than four hundred percent in the last seven years. This remarkable achievement by a single faculty member has led the College of Arts and Science to establish a major in this critical language.
