Professor of Biology Charles Brown has earned one of UTulsa's most prestigious recognitions: the Outstanding Teacher Award! 🌟
Charles Brown has held a tenured position at UTulsa since 1994. Prior to that, he taught for 13 years at the University of Nebraska and Yale University. He received his doctorate from Princeton University.
At UTulsa, Brown has taught extensively in the Department of Biological Science and mentored countless undergraduate and graduate students, as well as many postdoctoral advisees. Brown encourages students to learn science by “doing science” and challenges students to make connections with their knowledge.
✏️ Here's what students say about Professor Brown:
“[He] is the most talented teacher I’ve ever had. From both classes and time together in the field, Dr. Brown trained me to think like an ecologist.”
“After spending any time with Dr. Brown, you come out more knowledgeable, more thoughtful, and most importantly a more skilled critical thinker that can be used in all aspects of life.”
“I found Dr. Brown to be two things: one, a wealth of knowledge, and two, someone who wanted me to find the answer.”
