 RITCHIE

For her work, Ritchie received the University of Nebraska systemwide Outstanding Teaching and Instructional Creativity Award for 2004, which recognizes individual faculty members for sustained records of excellence in teaching.

Nominators for the OTICA award cited Ritchie's contributions to the teaching of undergraduate and graduate students, mentoring of graduate research assistants, working with her peers to improve teaching practices, and helping public school teachers improve their skills.

Ritchie's current work involves rhetoric, especially uncovering women's contributions to the field. She is co-editing a collection of essays, "Teaching Rhetorica: Redefining Theory and Practice," from leading scholars in the field of women's rhetoric.
