Distinguished Teaching Award

Selection committee

Composition of the Distinguished Teaching Award Committee

The Committee will be comprised of:

  • The Chair of the Alumni Association or designee, who will serve a one-year term;
  • The President of the ASUWT or designee, who will serve a one-year term;
  • The recipient of the previous year's award, who will serve a one-year term;
  • A faculty member from each of four academic programs (other than the program represented by the previous year's awardee) who is appointed by the Program Director (thus, five programs will be represented each year). These faculty appointees will serve a two-year term unless someone from their program wins the Distinguished Teaching Award during the first year of their term.

If a member of the committee is nominated for the award, that person must withdraw from further participation in the committee for that year and the Director from the Program involved will appoint a replacement.
