Teacher/Scholar of the
Year
CAS Music Professor Roye Wates received
the Boston University Teacher/Scholar of the Year
Award at the new faculty orientation at Metcalf
Hall September 9. Wates "is an outstanding scholar
and teacher," said Chancellor John Silber, "someone
who brings to the classroom exemplary erudition and
the gifts of great teaching." Wates is pictured
with President Jon Westling during the new faculty
reception at his house later that afternoon.The
award is sponsored by the United Methodist Church
and its division of higher education. Although BU
is nonsectarian, the University's origin as
Methodist College in 1839 is remembered in several
ways, including this award. Wates began teaching at
BU in 1962 in the Department of the Humanities,
became an associate professor of humanities, and
then a University associate professor. She has
taught at CAS since 1978. Photo by Fred Sway
