Winners are eligible to win $1,500.
Guidelines for Evaluation of Nominations
The content of the supporting statement is the most important factor;
Full-time and part-time faculty members in all colleges are eligible with the exception of previous recipients;
Nomination forms coming from more than one source (i.e. students, faculty, alumni) strengthen the case for candidates;
The number of nomination forms is not, in itself, a sufficient criterion for receiving the award;
Information concerning nominations received in previous years is viewed as indicative of continuous teaching success and strenghtens the case for a candidate;
College or department representation is not considered in the evaluation process;
Class size and course level will not be considered in evaluating the nomination statements;
Evidence of supporting faculty-intiatived campaigns will be investigated and may lead the committee to disqualify the nominee as a candidate.
