Professor Juan Pestana has been selected as a 2010 recipient of Berkeley's Distinguished Teaching Award, the campus' most prestigious award for teaching.
The Award is intended to encourage and recognize individual excellence in teaching; teaching that incites intellectual curiosity in students, engages them thoroughly in the enterprise of learning, and has a life-long impact.
Berkeley's Committee on Teaching is extremely selective in determining the recipients of this award: only 232 faculty have received the award since its inception in 1959. The 2010 honorees are: Teck-Hua Ho (Business), Daniel Klein (EECS), Line Mikkelsen (Linguistics), and Juan Pestana (CEE).
Congratulations, Juan, on receiving this well-deserved recognition of your teaching excellence and the lasting impact you have on the lives of your students!
