The LaDonne H. Schulman award is given to a faculty member who has demonstrated excellence in teaching. The award recipient is selected by Einstein graduate students.
Dr. LaDonne H. Schulman was a Professor in the Department of Developmental Biology and Cancer (now Developmental and Molecular Biology) from 1968 until her passing in 1992. Dr. Schulman was a leader in the field of transfer RNA specificity. She was an outstanding teacher and mentor, who cared tremendously for her students, from who she garnered admiration throughout her career. Graduate students she trained in her own laboratory have gone on to very successful scientific careers. It was in this light that the LaDonne H. Schulman Award for Excellence in Teaching was established in 1993.
