Department Award for Excellence in Graduate Teaching
In 2008/2009, the structure of the Andy Farquharson award (see below) was changed to recognize only three winners across the campus. The Department of Chemistry chose to create its own award for excellence in teaching, and that winner becomes the department’s nominee for the Andy Farquharson award.

- 2016 - James McFarlane, Dillon Hofsommer and William FitzGerald
