2018 Centennial Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching from Iota Sigma Pi, the national honor society for women in chemistry.
Dr. Amandeep Sra, a senior lecturer in chemistry and biochemistry at The University of Texas at Dallas, has earned national recognition for her exceptional teaching efforts.

Five UT Dallas instructors recently were honored with President’s Teaching Excellence Awards for the outstanding impact they have on students through mentoring and creative teaching.
The recipients were recognized at a reception hosted by the
Center for Teaching and Learning. At the event, UT Dallas President
Richard C. Benson credited the chosen educators with lifting the University’s profile and drawing the best students.
“A lot of wonderful students chose to come to UT Dallas because of you,” said Benson, holder of the
Eugene McDermott Distinguished University Chair of Leadership. “They come because of the reputation you have. And they remain at UT Dallas for the same reasons. Thank you for what you do for students individually, and for what you do for UT Dallas collectively. We attract great students because of our great teachers.”
