Congratulations to EPOL doctoral student in Higher Education, Alison Ahlgren Reddy, who is being recognized by the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences with a 2020-2021 LAS Staff and Academic Professional Award.
Seven staff and academic professionals are being recognized for outstanding contributions to the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences in 2020-21, including Reddy, who serves as director of mathematics placement and coordinator of quantitative reasoning courses in the Department of Mathematics. Reddy has been named a recipient of the LAS Academic Professional Award. The recognition comes with a $1,000 award and a $1,000 salary increment supported by donations from LAS alumni.
Reddy leads a team of math instructors who are selected to work with incoming first-generation students and carefully designs courses to provide a rigorous yet welcoming and dynamic environment for students. Wrote one colleague, “Alison is clearly influencing the way math instruction and teaching should be delivered at Illinois.”
Reddy and the other 2020-21 recipients will be honored during a virtual ceremony in March.
