Congratulations to Lijuan Bi for receiving The Provost’s Award for Distinguished Teaching, the highest teaching award in the university for lecturers and associated faculty. Working with colleagues and the Affordable Learning Exchange, Bi is developing new cost-free materials for a course redesign that will be implemented across all campus sections.

Known for her patience and kindness, Lijuan Bi, lecturer at The Ohio State University at Newark, inspires students to take an active role in learning as she supports and encourages them, wrote a nominator. Her use of alternative materials in the online environment inspired her to rethink her approach to classes geared toward the most at-risk students. Working collaboratively with colleagues and the Affordable Learning Exchange, Bi is developing new cost-free materials for a course redesign that will be implemented across all campus sections. Bi was honored with The Ohio State University at Newark Teaching Excellence Award in 2020 after only her first year at Ohio State Newark.
