Graduate Teaching Award Eligibility & Criteria

Nomination Process

Faculty, staff, students and alumni are eligible to nominate faculty members for the college’s teaching awards using the below nomination form. Each department’s Annual Evaluation Committee is also allowed to nominate deserving faculty members. Faculty members are allowed to self-nominate.

Once the nomination period closes, nominees are asked to submit a binder of materials that demonstrates excellence in teaching. The materials included in these binders should follow the university’s guidance for evidence in teaching in promotion and tenure. Examples include, but are not limited to:

• A list of all courses taught for the past three years;
• The last three years of teaching evaluations for courses;
• Copy of syllabi from all courses taught in the past three years;
• A letter grade distribution for each course;
• A teaching statement (i.e. teaching philosophy);
• A vita focused on teaching activities and accomplishments; and
• If appropriate, a list of doctoral students mentored and evidence of effective doctoral student instruction

Details will be provided to nominees by the committee.
