Edwin E. and Mary T. Huddleson Outstanding Teacher Award
The role of every Pardee RAND instructor is to help build a new generation of policy leaders and to foster a highly stimulating, analytically deep, and intellectually rich learning environment. The Edwin E. and Mary T. Huddleson Award is an esteemed academic distinction presented to those instructors with outstanding achievement. The recipients are chosen by vote of the Pardee RAND student body. This makes the award unique for Pardee RAND as it is a direct reflection of the students' educational experience.

Formally established in 1995, the award was made possible by an endowment gift from the family of the late Mary T. and Edwin E. Huddleson, Jr. Mr. Huddleson's career of distinguished public service included 27 years as a RAND trustee and 31 years as RAND's corporate counsel. As a trustee, he was instrumental in founding the Pardee RAND Graduate School. The family's gift was supplemented by other contributions to RAND made in the Huddlesons' memory, and from 2006 to 2014 the award was presented annually, alternating between instructors who teach core courses and those who teach electives. Since 2015, awards have been presented annually to both core and elective faculty.
