Claudia Buttera, a lab co-ordinator with the Department of Biology, was one of three Carleton educators to receive a 2014 Capital Educators\u2019 Award.<\/p>\n
Instead of a large lecture hall, Claudia\u2019s teaching takes place among microscopes, chemicals and plants \u2013 which she says she could not be happier about.<\/p>\n
The recommendation letters submitted by her students highlight her excitement about the work she does and her innate ability to make students feel the same way. One student wrote that Claudia \u201ccreates a passion and excitement in students and can light a spark in an individual that can be harnessed for years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n
