Chancellor’s teaching awardees press students to think at complex levelsIn interviews on the following pages, 2004 winners of the Chancellor’s Distinguished Teaching Award share ways they encourage their students to think at higher levels. This teaching award has been conferred since 1984 as a way to recognize excellence in teaching and inspire colleagues through shared insights. The most broadly based teaching award at the University, it has been bestowed upon 118 faculty, representing a range of schools within the University and its regional campuses. Candidates for the award can be nominated by students, faculty colleagues, department chairs, or deans. A committee of faculty and students recommends 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.
