Tom Yeh, assistant professor in the Department of Computer Science at CU-Boulder, has been chosen to receive the 2014 Student Affairs Faculty Member of the Year Award. The CU-Boulder Division of Student Affairs gives the award annually to faculty members who demonstrate outstanding engagement with students and who make substantial contributions to Student Affairs.

Yeh was nominated by students who lauded his “willingness to engage a diverse research group that connects students with others on campus and within the industry, use of a “‘flipped classroom’ approach where the learning occurs outside the classroom and ‘where students can see themselves as co-creators of knowledge,’” and his efforts to develop student leadership by “deliberately creating and supporting opportunities for students to lead research groups and facilitate classroom discussions.”

Yeh will be honored Sept. 19 at the Center for British and Irish Studies.
