Chancellor’s Teaching Awards bestowed for 19th year


The most broadly based teaching award at the University, the Chancellor’s Distinguished Teaching Award has been conferred since 1984 as a way to recognize excellence in teaching and inspire colleagues through shared insights. A total of 114 faculty, representing a range of schools within the University and its regional campuses, have received the award over the years.

Candidates for the awards can be nominated by students, faculty colleagues, department chairs or deans. A committee of faculty and students recommends their selections to the Chancellor for his approval. Any full-time faculty member who has been active as a teacher for at least five years and has not previously won is eligible.

In addition to a $2,000 cash award and a $3,000 grant to be used to support teaching activities, winners are honored at an annual Honors Convocation and have their names inscribed on a permanent plaque in the William Pitt Union. The awards are funded by an endowment from unrestricted 1980 Capital Campaign funds.

This year’s winners discuss their teaching in interviews on the following pages.
