​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​The Artzyeli Award commemorates the late Eleanor Artzyeli (1936-1987), who taught in our department - and in whose memory the department was dedicated back in 1988. Eleanor Artzyeli taught first-year writing, among other subjects, and the award is given annually to excellent first-year students in literature and linguistics.
