TAMIU’s Dr. Kele Anyanwu Receives CATE Award from the Texas A&M University System
A Texas A&M International University (TAMIU) faculty member’s exemplary and innovative work has prompted his selection as one of only three statewide recipients of the Chancellor’s Academy of Teacher Educators (CATE) Award of The Texas A&M University System.
Dr. Kele Anyanwu, associate professor of Educational Programs, was notified of his selection by TAMIU provost and vice president for Academic Affairs, Dr. Claudia San Miguel.
The Award recognizes and honors both individuals and university teams who are making noteworthy and exemplary contributions to quality, innovation, and continuous improvement in teacher preparation. Recipients will gather for a recognition ceremony in March 2025 at the George H.W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum in College Station.
Dr. San Miguel said Dr. Anyanwu’s contributions to teacher preparation at TAMIU have been impressive.
“Dr. Anyanwu’s impressive work with Mixed Reality Simulation replicates real-world classroom challenges that allow the professor to take corrective action in real time to enhance students’ learning and preparedness. This is a bold and innovative approach with measurable impact that truly affirms his CATE Award selection,” Dr. San Miguel observed.
Dr. James O’Meara, dean of TAMIU’s College of Education, concurred.
“Dr. Anyanwu’s innovative approach provides a safe space for rehearsing teaching practices and is making a real difference. We’re tremendously proud of him and the impact he is having,” Dr. O’Meara.
Dr. Anyanwu joined TAMIU in 2023. He holds his Ed.D. in Curriculum and Instruction, Instructional Technology, and an M.S. in Instructional Technology, from the University of Houston. He earned a B.Sc. in Chemistry/Microbiology from the University of Nigeria.
