Dawn Berkshire’s not a student, alumna or faculty at the University of Chicago. That didn’t prevent her from winning an award from that institution.
Berkshire recently learned she was chosen for an Outstanding Teacher Award at the University of Chicago. After nomination by a now-former student, Arnav Nigam, Berkshire, a Hamilton High School science teacher, learned she’s won.
Berkshire told the CUSD Governing Board about the award and the student who nominated her, during the board’s Oct. 23 meeting.
