If so, you may wish to nominate that faculty member for a prestigious Undergraduate Studies Programs Teaching Award, or an Undergraduate Studies General Education Teaching Award.

Based on undergraduate student nominations, the Office of Undergraduate Studies will recognize two faculty members for excellence in teaching: one faculty member teaching in an Undergraduate Studies Program, and one faculty member teaching in a General Education Program. The two recognized faculty will receive $1,000 cash awards and be acknowledged in a ceremony held Spring semester 2013.

See the following for faculty eligibility and to nominate the faculty member whose course you took in one of these programs.

Congratulations to Dr. Ronald A. Yaros and to Dr. David A. Crocker, 2012 UGST Teaching Award Winners
