Graduate Tax Faculty Receive Inaugural Diane E. Ambler '78 Faculty Curricular Innovation Award

Todd Aagaard, Vice Dean and Professor of Law, recently announced this year’s the recipients of the inaugural Diane E. Ambler '78 Faculty Curricular Innovation Award. The Award is given to a faculty member who has distinguished herself/himself through the creation and/or implementation of positive curricular or pedagogical change or development. The primary factor for the award is curricular innovation at the Law School that has the potential to influence the positive development of the Law School’s academic program both directly and also indirectly by influencing the way that others teach. For the inaugural recipients, the faculty committee chose Les Book, Professor of Law, and Joy Mullane, Professor of Law.

Book and Mullane were chosen for their innovative pedagogical approach first developed for the online Graduate Tax Program, which they each have then adapted and implemented for their Introduction to Federal Taxation courses in the JD program.
