The university-wide teaching awards selection process is an annual holistic assessment that evolves with each new selection committee formed from faculty across the disciplines. The committees are instructed to review the chartered guidelines for each award with the autonomy to then create an assessment matrix with CIS scores potentially being one component of the assessment. What we seek with the infusion of new faculty and a freshly interpreted holistic selection process is that awards will reflect the evolution of teaching excellence in its many diverse forms on campus.

Authorized users for Faculty Profile will now be able to download CIS data into an Excel spreadsheet for use in the award packet. For each faculty member, go to the ‘Courses’ tab in their Faculty Profile. Click on Download Teaching Awards Report link located above the table displaying the course information. This link can be found on the both Organized and Individual Instruction page. Please sort the spreadsheet in reverse chronological order before inserting as a PDF into the award packet.

Address letters of recommendation to “Award Name Selection Committee.”

The page limits for each section are the total number of pages allowed for all materials in that section. For example, the three-page limit for letters of support means that this section of the nomination packet may not exceed three pages total.

Faculty not on a tenure track who are primarily engaged in instruction.
