Faculty Undergraduate Teaching Award<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Homayra Ziad<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lecturer\/Director<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Program in Islamic Studies<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI have known Dr. Ziad for nearly two years now since I first took a course with her, and she continues to be a steadfast and luminous mentor for me. From academic to personal to spiritual, Dr. Ziad\u2019s wisdom and reservoir of knowledge has always been a source of inspiration, and there have been countless times when I came away from our interactions with a new sense of purpose.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHomayra has sparked a renaissance for the Program in Islamic Studies not only through her teaching, but through her tireless work in developing programming. She seems to know every academic, artist, public intellectual, and activist in North America whose work connects to Islam, and she uses her vast network to organize events and attract speakers and artists who enrich our undergraduates\u2019 experiences.\u201d\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
