Call for Nominations: Richard P. Feynman Prize for Excellence in Teaching

Nominations for the Richard P. Feynman Prize for Excellence in Teaching are now open.

Nominations for the Feynman Prize may be made by any member of the Caltech community, including faculty, students, postdoctoral scholars, alumni, and staff.
