The award recognizes KU graduate students who have approached their teaching as an inquiry into learning. The monetary award honors a graduate student who is pursuing a career in academia.
Perkins has taught college algebra, precalculus and calculus courses since 2015 as a graduate teaching assistant.
“I am passionate about investing in students and helping them succeed inside and outside of the classroom,” Perkins said.
