Professor of Chemistry Kumar Sinniah is the 2021 recipient of the Presidential Award for Exemplary Teaching. As the highest teaching honor at Calvin University, the award was established in 1993 by a donor to honor a former Calvin trustee, George Tinholt.
Sinniah joined Calvin’s chemistry faculty in 1995 and his courses and research projects have been raved about by students ever since. While Sinniah has taken time away from campus to serve as a visiting professor at institutions such as the University of Michigan, University of Maryland, and University of Cambridge, his heart has always brought him back to his students at Calvin.
FULBRIGHT SCHOLAR AMBASSADOR
Story By Sara Tubbs; Photos by Benjamin Corda As University of Houston historian José Angel Hernández reflects on his childhood in San Antonio, the son of “modest, humble” Mexican immigrants, he shared a story about the time his parents bought the family a used World Book Encyclopedia set.
“My parents aren’t formally educated, but they always knew the importance of education. They didn’t buy us electronics, so the encyclopedia became our PlayStation or Atari,” he fondly recalled. “My brother and I would spend hours on the floor rummaging through the pages, mostly the science ones like biology and zoology. This was our version of Google in the 1970s.”
