Academic Minute Listener Choice Nominees

While many see summer as a time to take a break from the academic world, here at The Academic Minute, we use the intersession as a time to take a look back and honor the professors and segments that stood out over the past year. Here are the nominees for this year’s Listener Choice, so if you don’t already have a favorite, take a few moments to listen before heading over to the Academic Minute Facebook page to vote. Voting closes at the end of the day on June 29th.
