I got a letter a few days ago informing me that I have won the All-University Graduate Teaching Assistant Award in Math, Science and Engineering.  To quote the letter,

“The competition for the All-University award was intense, and selection committee members felt that your dossier clearly exhibited excellence in teaching.  The recommendations of faculty members with whom you work, as well as evaluations by your former students, show that you have strong command of your subject, the capacity to inspire students, and highly developed organizational and teaching skills.”

Wow — I am honored for the award, and am grateful for the appreciation of my teaching.
