The Chilcote Chair in Applied and Innovative Learning

The Chilcote Chair in Applied and Innovative Learning was established in 1992 through a bequest from the estate of Lee A. Chilcote ’26 to honor a University School faculty member for the lively dynamic manner in which he or she conducts class and involves the boys in meaningful applications of their learning to the larger world around them. The award of the chair recognizes that teacher, regardless of discipline, who has developed an imaginative and effective program integrating descriptive and theoretical material with current technological practice.

Chair holder Ellen Rothfusz, who has taught at US since 2010, is a fourth grade teacher and curriculum coordinator for grades 3-5. She received a bachelor of science degree from St. Joseph University.
