ALLIANCE – The University of Mount Union is pleased to announce Dr. Gerald Wuchter, professor of mathematics, as the 2025 recipient of its Great Teacher Award.

Wuchter has been a member of the Mount Union faculty since 1995 and has served as a department chair and on several committees, including the Academic Policies Committee, the Committee on Athletics and the Resource Allocation Advisory Board. He earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics and Statistics from Miami University and both a Master’s and Doctorate in Mathematics from the University of Michigan.

One student nominator said, “This professor is an exceptional educator who has profoundly impacted my academic journey. Having taken three of this person’s courses, I always felt seen, supported, and motivated to give 110% because of the professor’s incredible teaching.”

A second nominator said, “He genuinely cares about students and loves to hear about what is going on in our lives. Not only did he instill a love and appreciation for math in me, but I also gained the confidence that I could actually be good at math.”

The Great Teacher Award was initiated in 1962 and is sponsored by the Alumni Association to recognize excellence in teaching at Mount Union. Learn more about the award at mountunion.edu/great-teacher-award.
