By David Gonnerman '90
November 5, 2009

The Collaboration for the Advancement of College Teaching & Learning has selected Professor of Economics David Schodt, director of the St. Olaf Center for Innovation in the Liberal Arts (CILA), as this year's recipient of the Stewart Bellman Award for Exemplary Leadership for the Advancement of College Teaching and Learning. The annual award, established in 2007, recognizes individuals and groups who have demonstrated their ability to inspire collaborative engagement and foster changes in higher education at and beyond their own institutions that result in measurable improvements in teaching and student learning. The award will be presented to Schodt Nov. 13.

In their nominating statement, Schodt's colleagues at St. Olaf emphasized his devotion to CILA (of which he was founding director in 2000) and the Carnegie Academy for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning. His leadership and expertise in these programs and many more have made him a mentor to many.
