Posted on March 10: MSU recognizes excellence in teaching

Did you nominate your favourite teacher for an award earlier this year? Do you know an outstanding professor who has made exceptional contributions to McMaster? Would you like to come out and support your instructors?

If you answered yes to any of the above questions come and check out the MSU Teaching Awards Wednesday, March 12 at 6 p.m. in the CIBC Banquet Hall at the McMaster University Student Centre.

The annual McMaster Students Union event, recognizes and encourages excellence in teaching. Awards to be presented include Faculty Awards, Merit Awards for teachers in the first or second year at Mac, and Lifetime Achievement Awards. A reception will follow the ceremony.

Award recipients are nominated by students each semester and classes of the top two nominees in each faculty are given evaluation forms to complete. The winner is the teacher with the highest ranking on these forms.

Faculty Awards are given for each of the following faculties or programs; Arts & Science, Business, Engineering, Health Sciences, Humanities, Kinesiology, Nursing, Science, Social Work, and Social Studies.

Merit Awards are given to support teachers in their first or second year at McMaster who have already made a significant contribution to the community.

Each year, Lifetime Achievement Awards are presented to one or more instructors who have shown dedication to teaching at McMaster University for at least ten years, have been nominated for an MSU Teaching Award in the past and are close to retirement. This award recognizes the significant contribution by an instructor to the McMaster community due to their proven years of outstanding teaching but also considers their contributions to academia.
