The William G. Jackson Center for Teaching and Learning seeks input for its annual Distinguished Teaching Awards, which recognize outstanding contributions to the instructional mission of the University.

Based on more than 50,000 student ratings of instruction responses, ten finalists have been identified for the 2017 awards. The selection committee is soliciting comments from students, staff, faculty and alumni to aid in deliberation.

This year’s finalists are:
Associate Professor/Professor Category
Mari Buche (SBE), associate professor
Yu Cai (SoT), associate professor
Mary Carol Friedrich (VPA), professor
Ann Maclean (SFRES), professor
Scott Miers (MEEM), associate professor

Assistant Professor/Lecturer/Professor of Practice Category

Sheila Milligan (SBE), senior lecturer
Brigitte Morin (Bio Sci), lecturer
Elizabeth Reed (Math), senior lecturer
Jeffrey Wall (SBE), assistant professor

Comments on the nominees are due by Monday, March 20 and can be completed online.

The process for determining the Distinguished Teaching Award recipients from this list of finalists also involves the additional surveying of their spring classes.

The selection committee makes the final determination of the award recipients. The 2017 Distinguished Teaching Awards will be formally announced in May.
