Doctoral student Gabriela Trigo-McIntyre is one of the 2023-24 Graduate Associate Teaching Award (GATA) recipients. This award is the premier award for creating excellence in teaching at the graduate level. Recipients of the GATA are nominated by faculty, staff and students through an anonymous nomination process. Each nominee is asked to provide an application packet which is reviewed holistically by the GATA selection committee to evaluate the nominee’s ability to facilitate student learning and to reflect, evaluate, and improve their own teaching.

In autumn, Trigo-McIntyre taught America on Stage, a general education course that explores the images of Americans presented on popular stages from 1830 to the present. This semester she is teaching History of Performance 2, a requirement for Theatre Majors.
