Willard O. Eddy Teacher Award

Willard Eddy was professor emeritus at Colorado State University at the time of his death in 1993.

His career at CSU spanned six decades in which he provided unparalleled leadership in the development of the Philosophy and English departments and the University's Honors Program. In addition to his vision, energy and leadership in the development of academic disciplines in the Liberal Arts at CSU, he was also a distinguished classroom teacher. Willard loved to teach, and his efforts inspired generations of students to greater personal accomplishments.

The foundation awards an annual stipend of $1,000 to a faculty member in Liberal Arts or Natural Sciences at CSU selected each year by students and colleagues as the outstanding classroom teacher. The "Willard Eddy Teaching Award" is intended to honor persons possessing those communication skills and inspirational motivation that we believe are at the very least as important as accomplishment in research and publications.
