  Kylie Philipps and Trent Schwartz named 2021 AMSA Student Teacher “Cleaver” Award Recipients

  AMSA is pleased to announce that Kylie Philipps and Trent Schwartz have been selected as the 2021 AMSA Student Teacher “Cleaver” Award winners. A meat cleaver is resilient and designed to break through soft bones and cartilage. Graduate teaching assistants are encouraged to be “cleavers” by being resilient in teaching abilities, breaking through to students, and enhancing their knowledge. The tough metal and thick blade of a cleaver are unique and more durable compared to other knives. Graduate students are expected to be durable through their obligations, and above all, to create a unique learning experience for students. The AMSA Student Membership sponsors the Student Teacher “Cleaver” Award. Philipps and Schwartz will be honored during the 74th AMSA Reciprocal Meat Conference (RMC) hybrid meeting on August 15-18, 2021, in Reno, Nevada.
