He was selected for this award based on criteria including mastery of the subject matter, ability to engage students both within and outside of the classroom, and innovations in course and curriculum design.

Professor O'Mara, a specialist in U.S. urban history, worked with 75 students to develop a truly impressive public history project on South Lake Union.
