Posted on Feb. 13: Call for Nominations: 2003 President’s Awards for Excellence in Teaching

This year marks the 11th anniversary of the President's Awards for Excellence in Teaching, which are designed to recognize outstanding contributions to teaching and learning at McMaster University.

The awards demonstrate the value McMaster attaches to its educational function and recognize those who, through innovation and commitment, have significantly enhanced the quality of learning by McMaster students. All full-time and part-time faculty (including those on contract) are eligible.

The President's Award for Course or Resources Design. This award recognizes the contribution of an individual, or of a group, to education through innovation and achievement in the design of a course or program of studies, or in the design of educational materials.

The President's Award for Instruction. This award recognizes the contribution of an individual to education through innovation, achievement or continuing excellence in classroom or personal instruction.

The President's Award for Educational Leadership. This award recognizes the contributions of an individual that more generally promotes excellence in teaching and learning. The contributions in question may not influence any single course or program directly but have effects well beyond the nominee's own department.

A citation of excellence and memento to be presented at the Spring Convocation;
