Thank-a-Teacher

  • Professors like you, who empathize with students and make themselves accessible, really make the difference.

  • I feel like I see the world differently after your class, and for that, I can't thank you enough.

  • You made this class one of the most enjoyable, engaging courses I’ve taken at Harvard so far.

  • Thank you for being a source of inspiration and for fostering an environment where curiosity is encouraged, and academic growth is nurtured.

  • You cared about every student in the room. You treated everyone with respect and thoughtfulness.

  • For the first time I was challenged to take opposite perspectives from my own and work with students who approach ideas differently than me.

  • Your humor and clearness and energy really made me look forward to every lecture.

  • I would go into each class confident that I will grow not only as an academic, but also as a person.

The Thank-a-Teacher program is limited to students at Harvard College and Harvard Kenneth C. Griffin Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. At the end of each term, the Bok Center will send the instructor a letter of recognition with your note of gratitude. Submissions for the spring term are due by May 15, 2024. All notes will be sent after grades have been submitted for the term.
