2012 Provost's Award for Teaching
The 2012 Provost's Award for Teaching goes to Dr. Edward Walton.
Professor Walton, who joined the chemistry department in 1987, will receive the Provost's Award for Teaching. He has gained a national reputation for his innovative teaching methods, especially evident in the chemistry course he developed for pre-service K-8 teachers. Throughout his time at Cal Poly Pomona, Walton has partnered with school districts to improve K-12 science teaching. In addition, he was instrumental in establishing the Diversity Ambassador Program, in which students visit historical sites in the South to gain first-hand knowledge about the civil rights movement.
