Posted on Feb. 25: Nominations sought for President’s Awards for Excellence in Teaching

The President's 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.

Each of the awards consists of a citation of excellence and memento to be presented at the Spring Convocation; an honorarium in the amount of $5,000; and an inscription of the recipient's name on McMaster's Wall of Recognition.

Nomination forms are available in all departmental offices and from the Centre for Leadership in Learning. You can also download a PDF version of the form. Nominations should be submitted by March 12, 2004 to:
