Irmak Sirer Awarded Teaching Assistant of the Year


I am truly grateful to all the Northwestern University students that nominated and voted for me, as well as the faculty who gave their feedback, which resulted in the George Thodos Teaching Assistant of the Year award. This follows the incredible honor of being the highest rated teaching assistant for four semesters in a row at Sabancı University, my entire run as an assistant there. Teaching is my biggest passion, and being recognized for it gives me butterflies in my stomach. My heart is beating like a race horse’s.
