Awards and Recognitions

The College of Arts and Science Distinguished Teaching Award (formerly the College of Arts and Sciences Distinguished Instructor/Lecturer Award) honors superior teaching; something that varies slightly from department to department, program to program. Since the qualities that make a superior physics teacher may differ from those that mark a superior ceramics instructor, nomination letters clearly specify what makes each nominee outstanding in their field, and supporting materials show the ways in which the nominee embodies these qualities. All nominations are reviewed by a College-level committee appointed by the Dean.
