Congratulations to Zane Larson (Musicology, PhD), who was recently named a recipient of the Doug Trank Memorial Award for Excellence in Teaching and Mentoring!

Zane's exceptional teaching skills and genuine care for his students in Rhetoric courses over the past two years have made him stand out. His devotion and warmth mirror the qualities that Rhetoric's late Department Chair, Doug Trank, was known for. The Doug Trank Memorial Award honors instructors who embody Doug's passion for teaching, his kindness, humor, and expertise as a mentor.
