About the Awards

• The Award for Excellence in Contributions to Instruction is not an award for the best teacher or the most popular teacher, but an effort to honor contributions to the teaching-learning process at the institutional level. The recipient must demonstrate excellence in the classroom and beyond by making contributions to the discipline and to the overall institutional mission.
• The Award for Excellence in Research/Creative Scholarly Activity seeks to recognize persons who excel in their research efforts in addition to fulfilling regular full-time teaching responsibilities.
• The Award for Excellence in Service is designed to recognize and reward faculty who use their academic disciplines to provide non-compensated assistance to the region as well as to the academic community.

Each recipient receives a summer contract to continue instructional, research, or service activities and to develop a mechanism for sharing expertise with faculty, staff, and students.
