RE: Collegiate Teaching Award Nominations
Collegiate Teaching Award Nominations
I am writing to announce the nomination process for the 2017-2018 Collegiate Teaching Awards. These awards are important for the individual winners, their departments, and for the College as a whole as an endorsement of the high value the faculty places on excellent teaching.
The Collegiate Teaching Awards recognize faculty for teaching excellence over a three-year period. All tenure-track and clinical-track faculty members, as well as lecturers holding a minimum 50% appointment, are eligible to be nominated. Previous nominees who did not receive an award are eligible for re-nomination.
- Departments may submit no more than one nomination. Please propose your nominee by forwarding his / her name to Peter Hubbard (peter-hubbard@uiowa.edu), Committee staff, by Friday, December 1, 2017. The College will contact the nominee with information about completing the process.
- The deadline for receipt of all nomination materials is Monday, January 22, 2018. Links to the Awards page and nomination materials are available at http://clas.uiowa.edu/faculty/faculty-awards-memorials (Faculty Awards & Memorials).
The authority for selecting six Collegiate Teaching Award winners belongs solely to the College, and the Teaching Award Committee seeks a wide selection of nominations from all parts of the faculty. The Committee expects that departments will give full consideration to women and minority candidates. Each award carries a $2,000 honorarium.
Thank you.
