Graduate student Chris Snead was honored on October 15, 2013 in a ceremony held by UCLA’s Academic Senate Committee on Teaching. Only five teaching assistants are selected each year for this prestigious teaching award, and Chris is the first from the Earth, Planetary, and Space Sciences department.
