The Senate Teaching and Learning Committee recently announced a call for nominations for the 2009 Teaching Excellence Awards.
Two awards will be made for 2009: one to a tenure-track faculty member and another to a non-tenure-track faculty member. Each award includes a cash stipend and will be presented at the 14th Annual Faculty Recognition Luncheon, tentatively scheduled for mid-April 2009.
Nominations may be made by any member of the Oakland University community, including students, faculty, alumni, administrators and staff. Student nominations are a highly valued component of this process. Faculty may not self-nominate for the award.
Faculty are encouraged to announce this nomination process in all classes. Students are encouraged to consider a faculty member who has facilitated their progress during their undergraduate coursework or during graduate study.
Nominations will be accepted through Dec. 10, 2008. Forms should be completed online.
Previous winners and current members of the Teaching and Learning Committee are not eligible for nomination. A plaque showing previous Teaching Excellence Award winners is on display in the lobby of the Kresge Library. The names also are listed online.
