Richard and Loan Hill Department of Biomedical Engineering Clinical Associate Professor Emma Dosmar recently received the 2026 Undergraduate Student Government Faculty Open Educational Resources Leadership Award.
The annual award recognizes faculty who demonstrate exemplary use of open educational resources in their classrooms and are leaders in using and advocating for open course materials.
Dosmar received the award for replacing a traditional textbook in BME 410 with curated open-access materials, including FDA resources, case studies and multimedia content. Through intentional course design and real-world applications, she has created a more accessible and engaging learning experience that not only reduces financial burden but also prepares students with practical, industry-relevant knowledge they use beyond the classroom.
Award nominations are submitted by colleagues and students and selected by an Undergraduate Student Government subcommittee.
The award is hosted by the Undergraduate Student Government, in collaboration with the Office of the Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs and the University Library.
