Each year our graduate students nominate BHI faculty and vote for who they believe should receive the BHI Teaching Award.  This is an award in recognition of an instructor’s commitment to teaching.  This year the award goes to an individual who has demonstrated commitment in mentoring students and inspiring them to develop their critical thinking and gain an in-depth understanding of informatics theory and practice.  Please join BHI in congratulating Dr. Ira Kalet, who is the recipient of the 2008 BHI Teaching Award.
