Mortar Board Excellence in Teaching Award

Calling all undergraduates: Nominate your favorite professor for Mortar Board's Excellence in Teaching Award!!

The UW Tolo Chapter of Mortar Board invites all undergraduates to nominate an outstanding professor who has inspired you, and made exceptional contributions towards the education of UW undergraduates.  Without great teachers, there cannot be great scholarship, and it is in this spirit that we wish to give undergraduate students the opportunity to say thank you and acknowledge those professors who have made a difference in their education.  This award is the only award on campus both nominated and awarded solely by undergraduate students and is a prestigious honor for any faculty to receive. 

Criteria for submitting nominations:
1.     Any lecturer, senior lecturer, adjunct professor, assistant professor, associate professor, professor, or professor emeritus may be nominated. Teaching assistants do not qualify for this award.
2.     Only undergraduate students (full or part-time) may nominate professors for the award. Students should nominate only one professor.    
3. Nominations are due Sunday, May 13th by 11:59 PM, 2012.

All nominations for the 2012 Excellence in Teaching Award must be received before Monday May 14th 2012 by this Catalyst Poll: https://catalyst.uw.edu/webq/survey/mortarbd/165032. Nominate your favorite teacher now! 

And of course, if you have questions, comments, or concerns please feel free to contact the Teaching Award Chair, Michelle Drews at drewsm@uw.edu.
