Sharon Marcus, Orlando Harriman Professor of English and Comparative Literature, is this year’s recipient of the Mark Van Doren Teaching Award.
The Mark Van Doren Award for Teaching has been awarded each year since 1962 in recognition of a faculty member’s humanity, devotion to truth and inspiring leadership. The award was established in honor of Mark Van Doren GSAS’21, a Pulitzer Prize-winning poet, novelist, playwright, critic, editor and biographer, as well as a renowned scholar and legendary teacher who inspired generations of Columbia students.
Congratulations, Professor Marcus!
