Established in 1978 in honor of John Diekhoff, the John S. Diekhoff Awards for Excellence in Graduate Teaching and Mentoring are presented each year to four faculty members who make exemplary contributions to the education and development of graduate students at Case Western Reserve University.
Diekhoff served as professor of English, chair of the Department of English, dean of Cleveland College, acting dean of the School of Graduate Studies and vice provost of the university.
Congratulations to Mandel School faculty members Mark Joseph, the Leona Bevis/Marguerite Haynam Professor in Community Development and founding director of the National Initiative on Mixed-Income Communities, and Jessica Wojtalik, assistant professor, who were two out of 57 faculty across the university nominated for this award!
