Group surprises prof with Golden Apple Award
Students praise Crowfoot's unusual teaching style
By Elizabeth Lai, Daily Staff Reporter on 2/20/08

Emeritus Prof. James Crowfoot went to Rendezvous Cafe yesterday  
morning planning to catch up with an old colleague. It became clear  
that the meeting was much more than a cup of coffee when a group of  
students and a cameraman eagerly approached his table.

"Excuse me, are you Professor Crowfoot?" asked LSA senior Andrew  
Bronstein, co-chair of Students Honoring Outstanding University  
Teaching. The School of Natural Resources Prof. said he was.

Crowfoot sat in his chair in disbelief as Bronstein explained to him  
that he was the winner of this year's Golden Apple Award, the 18-year- 
old honor given to one University professor each year for excellence  
in teaching.

Crowfoot, speechless at times, replied by saying, "What an incredible  
surprise!"
