Earlier this week, Provost Philip Hanlon announced the 2012 Provost's Teaching Innovation Prize. The prize, sponsored by the Office of the Provost, the Center for Research on Learning and Teaching (CRLT), and the University Library, honors innovative teaching approaches that incorporate creative pedagogies. In 2012, five faculty teaching innovations will receive prizes of $5,000 each.
Students, faculty, GSIs, department chairs, directors, deans, and staff members are invited to submit nominations for the prize. Nominations are due by 4 p.m. on Wednesday, February 1, 2012.
I encourage you to nominate a faculty member who is deserving of recognition for their innovations in teaching. Visit the CRLT website for information on nomination and selection processes.
