The Lindback Award is the highest teaching honor that the University bestows upon our faculty. The Lindback dossier contains letters from faculty, undergraduates, and graduate students who speak to the Dan's commitment to distinguished teaching across a wide range of settings, from direction and mentorship of graduate students to his special talent with the largest class in the College, PSYC001. Dan is just the third Lindback Award recipient in Psychology since the award was established in 1961.

The primary criteria for the Provost’s Award for Distinguished PhD Teaching and Mentoring are a record of successful doctoral student mentoring and placement, success in collaborating on doctoral committees and graduate groups, and distinguished research.
