Outstanding Teaching Awards

The University Teaching Council sponsors the Outstanding Teacher Awards (OTA) which are presented at the annual College Teaching Conference in the fall. The Outstanding Teaching Awards honor outstanding teaching by full-time nontenure track and part-time faculty. Three awards in the amount of $1,500. each are awarded. The awards parallel the Distinguished Teaching Awards. Photographs of the past OTA and DTA recipients are on permanent display in the Schwebel Room corridor of the Student Center.

Outstanding Teaching Award nominations may be made by faculty, students, staff, or alumni. Any individual may nominate as many faculty members as he or she desires. Please share this information with others, especially your students, and please consider nominating someone for this important award. The monetary value of the award is certainly of benefit, but even more satisfying is the sense of appreciation and very public recognition for those who have been chosen as outstanding educators by a Selection Committee of students and recent OTA recipients.

For further information on the OTA awards, please contact Anne Morrison (amorriso@kent.edu 330-672-2294).
