About The Jean Brierley Award

Jean Brierley (1908-1986) graduated from the University of New Hampshire in 1930 with a baccalaureate degree in Zoology. She then went to the University of Michigan where she received her MS and PhD. She joined the faculty at Michigan State College in 1945, teaching freshman biology and natural sciences. She retired from the faculty at Michigan State University in 1973 as a full Professor.

Professor Brierley established an endowed fund in 1973 to recognize teaching in any field or discipline at the University of New Hampshire. This fund was completed upon her death as a tribute to those members of the UNH faculty who have distinguished themselves as teachers. One award is rendered each academic year as our highest level recognition for excellence in teaching. In conjunction with the UNH Center for Excellence in Teaching & Learning, recipients host an annual event to advance the teaching mission of the university.

About The Jean Brierley Presentation on College Teaching

The first Brierley Award was presented in 1991 to Lester A. Fisher of the Department of English. In the years since then each winner of the award has delivered a formal presentation on college teaching. For the first ten years, the presentations were published as a booklet and are available in the Archives book collection: LD3779N4k B75. From 2003-2011, pdf copies of the talk were made available on the UNH Center for Excellence in Teaching & Learning website.
