Nominations accepted for teaching excellence awards
|
A
call for nominations for the MUSC Foundation Teaching Excellence Awards
is under way to all faculty and students. The purpose of these awards
is to recognize members of the MUSC faculty who have made outstanding
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 members 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 universitywide 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. Monday, Feb. 1. 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/. For information, call Marcia Higaki at 792-2340.
