Good
afternoon, POD members!
Do
you have an outstanding professor at your institution who deserves national
recognition for his or her extraordinary work in undergraduate teaching?
Consider
nominating this educator for a 2013 U.S. Professors of the Year award—the only national
initiative designed to recognize excellence in undergraduate teaching and
mentoring.
The
deadline for entries is April 15.
While
winning the award will bring much acclaim to your professor, it will also put
your institution on the national stage, strengthen community interest and build
public support for your academic programs.
Key facts and information about the awards program, now in
its 33rd year, include:
- The program is open to
educators at four-year and two-year institutions in the 50 states, the
District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
- Each campus may nominate
up to three professors.
- Nominees compete with
their peers in one of the following categories (based on the Carnegie
classification of their institution):
Outstanding
Baccalaureate Colleges Professor
Outstanding
Community Colleges Professor
Outstanding
Doctoral and Research Universities Professor
Outstanding Master’s Universities and Colleges Professor
- The Council for
Advancement and Support of Education and the Carnegie
Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching are the primary sponsors of
the awards program.
- There are four national
award winners (one in each category) and several state winners. All are
invited to a national awards ceremony and a congressional reception in
Washington, D.C.
- Previous
winners have included a number of POD members, including national
winners John Zubizarreta, Steve Volk, and Michael Wesch.
Every
institution has a great professor, and I hope you will consider submitting a
nomination or sharing this information with others at your institution who may
be interested in entering a nomination.
There
is still time to nominate but please don’t hesitate as the deadline is
fast approaching! Please feel free to call me at 202-478-5680 or email me at russell@case.org with any
questions about the awards.
Best,
Pamela
Russell
Director,
U.S. Professors of the Year Awards Program
