Freeman Awards

Freeman Outstanding Teacher Award based on enthusiasm and teaching skills, personal interest in students’ problems and educational goals, and a conveyance of high standards. The awards are made possible by a gift from the late John H. Freeman, a lawyer, original member of the Texas Medical Center Board of Directors and major supporter of the health science center.
