2004 U.S. Professor Of The Year
Carl E. Wieman

Carl Wieman, distinguished professor of physics at the University of Colorado at Boulder and Nobel laureate, has been named U.S. Professor of the Year among all doctoral and research universities in the United States. The award recognizes his unwavering dedication to undergraduate teaching.

"Carl Wieman's mantra has always been 'students come first,' and his winning this prestigious award leaves no doubt that he holds true to that ideal.  His ability to create synergy among his research, his passion for excellence and his vision of education makes him one of the university’s greatest assets and truly deserving of this recognition."
         —CU President Elizabeth Hoffman

"Although Carl is widely known for his breakthrough discovery of the Bose-Einstein condensate and for the Nobel Prize in physics he won later, at CU-Boulder Carl also is known as one of the best teachers of both undergraduate and graduate students. On behalf of the Boulder campus, I congratulate Carl and thank him for his continued pursuit of excellence in all that he does."
          —CU-Boulder Chancellor Richard L. Byyny
