Steering Committee Member Receives Award

The Brutocao Award for Curriculum Innovation honors faculty who have brought to the classroom new approaches to teaching and to learning and whose ideas and innovations can be applied by colleagues in their teaching. The Brutocao Award for Curriculum Innovation this year is presented to two professors who developed an innovative course for undergraduates called "Ethical Issues in Biotechnology." Team-taught by professors in Biology and Religious Studies, this interdisciplinary course trains students both in rigorous science and in social and ethical inquiry. Groups of students from the class have presented research posters focusing on genetic profiling, reproductive cloning of humans, and embryonic stem cell research to the University community and to the SCU board of trustees. The Brutocao Award for Curriculum Innovation is presented to Leilani Miller of Biology and Margaret McLean of Religious Studies.
