Nominations accepted for teaching
excellence awards
A call for
nominations for the 2008 MUSC Foundation Teaching Excellence Awards was
sent to all faculty and students. The purpose of these awards is to
recognize faculty members who have made contributions to the university
through teaching.
Awards may be given from the following categories:
- Clinical/Professional (Educator-Mentor): For teaching
excellence in non-traditional roles with individuals or small groups,
specifically those who teach, mentor, or serve as role models in their
clinical and professional development.
- Scholarship/Academic (Educator-Mentor): For teaching
excellence in non-traditional roles with individuals or small groups,
specifically those who teach, mentor, or serve as role models in their
scholarly or academic development.
- Educator-Lecturer: For teaching excellence in traditional,
didactic or classroom teaching.
- Developing Teacher: For teaching excellence demonstrated by
a junior faculty member in either of the above categories.
Any regular, full-time faculty member who holds an academic rank of
instructor or higher in a college or department of MUSC, who has not
been the recipient of this award within the previous three years, is
eligible for nomination. Faculty who are nominated in the
Clinical/Professional (Educator-Mentor), Scholarship/Academic
(Educator-Mentor), or Educator-Lecturer categories must have taught at
MUSC for three or more years.
Those nominated for the Developing Teacher category must have taught
for a minimum of two years at MUSC and for no more than four years
total at an institute of higher education.
Presented for the first time in 1995, these teaching awards were
proposed as part of MUSC's Educational Strategic Plan. In addition to a
commemorative medallion, each recipient will receive a cash award from
the MUSC Foundation.
The deadline for nominations is 5 p.m. March 7. Nominees will be
invited to submit supporting materials, and a committee of faculty and
students representing MUSC's six colleges, Library Sciences and
Informatics, and the Student Government Association will review the
nominations and select the recipients for this year's awards.
Forms may be obtained and submitted online at http://www.carc.musc.edu/nomination/.
