Teaching Exceptionalism

Known for reinvigorating computer science at UD, “inspiring many students,” Assistant Professor Robert Hocherg, Ph.D., is the 2020 Haggar Fellow. “His joy for learning transcends his area of study. He challenges one’s faith, position and ideas in order to … cultivate better academics,” said Provost Jonathan J. Sanford, Ph.D., at the annual faculty awards ceremony. “Equanimity and gentlemanly flair” are character hallmarks of Associate Professor and Chair of Classics David Sweet, Ph.D. The 2020 King Fellow, Sweet makes students marvel “at his stories of experience abroad … relishing his lively narratives of ancient history.”
