Honor that unforgettable faculty member and share your favorite classroom memories of how he or she inspired you — submit a nomination for the Outstanding Teaching Award today.
Sponsored by the University Teaching Council, the Outstanding Teaching Award is intended to honor outstanding teaching by nontenure-track and part-time faculty at Â鶹ÊÓƵ. The awards parallel the Distinguished Teaching Awards sponsored by the Kent Alumni Association: Every year, three Kent faculty members will be honored with awards of $1,500 each for their outstanding achievements in teaching.
But first they must be nominated, and that is up to you.
ELIGIBILITY
- A faculty member must have been on a nontenure-track or part-time contract at the Kent Campus or any Regional Campus of the university for a minimum of five consecutive years (annually, not necessarily every semester), including the current academic year. (Returning emeriti are excluded.)
- Those receiving the awards must be on contract during the semester (fall 2011) in which the awards are presented.
- Those who received an Outstanding Teaching Award previously are not eligible.
You can nominate your favorite professor NOW by visiting the online form. www.kent.edu/utc/teaching_award. Deadline for nominations is June 30.
