The Maseeh Award for Excellence as a Teaching Assistant went to Rory Clune, teaching assistant for 1.035 Mechanics I of Structures and Soils. One of his nominators said that Clune “cared deeply about his mission and dedication to the students, and was also supremely effective as a recitation instructor, grading homework and quizzes, and as a lab assistant. … Friendly and laid back by nature, but also having an unusual technical and mathematical talent himself, he was able to reach down to their level of understanding, never expecting them to know what he knew, or insinuating that the material was in any way obvious.”
