The Evangeline Papageorge Distinguished Teaching Award was established in 1993 by the Emory Medical Alumni Association under the leadership of Dr. William Waters 50C 58M 60MR. This award recognizes excellence in the teaching of medical education and honors the legacy of Dr. Evangeline Papageorge 29G 37M, beloved teacher and administrator who served Emory for many decades. The award and honorarium are given each year during the School of Medicine's diploma ceremony to a medical faculty member whose intellectual luminosity has generated the greatest excitement about learning among students and colleagues. Without question, the Papageorge Award has become one of the most prestigious awards presented by the School of Medicine or Emory University.
