1. Outstanding Graduate Student Instructor Awards

Outstanding Graduate Student Instructor Awards

The Outstanding Graduate Student Instructor Awards recognize the efforts and accomplishments of GSIs who demonstrate extraordinary dedication and excellence as teachers. Faculty members are encouraged to nominate graduate students who display the highest levels of commitment, creativity and skill in the classroom.

  • General Information

    Eligibility

    Students may be nominated who are actively pursuing Rackham graduate degrees and who have completed at least two full terms (not necessarily consecutive) as GSIs. Students whose second term of teaching will occur during the final semester of their program may be nominated even though they may no longer be enrolled at the university at the time the committee reviews nominations. Nominations of outstanding women, minorities, and members of other groups historically underrepresented in their disciplines are encouraged.

    Selection Criteria

    Students are expected to demonstrate: exceptional ability, continuous growth and creativity as teachers; service as outstanding mentors and advisors to their students and colleagues; and growth as scholars in the course of their graduate programs.

    Number of Awards

    Twenty awards in the amount of $1,000.

    Source of Nominations

    Nominations may be submitted by faculty, directors, or chairs of departments or programs, and should be coordinated through the appropriate departmental or program office. Students and alumni are encouraged to suggest nominations to department leadership. No more than two nominations per year may be submitted by a given department or unit within a school or college.

    Selection Process

    A selection committee of faculty recognized for outstanding teaching achievements reviews nominations. Recipients will be notified in the winter term and awards will be formally presented at a ceremony.

    Deadline

    The nomination deadline is Tuesday, January 20, 2026, at 5:00 p.m., EST.

    For more information contact Rackham Honors and Awards at 734.763.1031 or [email protected].

  • Guidelines for Preparing Nominations

    Back to Top

    A nomination dossier must include:

    • Cover sheet with contact information
    • A nominating letter
    • A statement from the student’s academic advisor
    • A statement of teaching philosophy
    • Academic transcript (unofficial copy)
    • Curriculum Vitae

    Incomplete dossiers cannot be reviewed.

    For each nomination dossier, the Graduate School will provide a Registrar’s Teaching Evaluation “Instructor Report” that tabulates quantitative data only.

    The online nomination dossier may be set up by a faculty or staff member. Others may be given login access to the site as needed. The nomination system may be accessed as often as needed in order to complete the nomination dossier. All materials must be uploaded in Adobe PDF format.

    Cover Sheet

    Complete the online cover sheet with all information requested for the nominee and the nominator—not the administrator who may have initiated the dossier—and the contact information for the graduate coordinator.

    Nominating Letter

    The nominating letter should address the student’s scholarly growth and include evidence of teaching excellence that supplements the teaching evaluation report. It may incorporate quotations from faculty and former and current students that describe the nominee’s teaching abilities and achievements and sample excerpts from assignments and syllabi.

    Letters should include the following:

    • An assessment of the teaching contributions of the nominee, emphasizing innovative and effective approaches used in the classroom. Give specific examples, such as use of active learning, approaches to teach students from diverse backgrounds, and innovative use of instructional technology.
    • Evidence for the exceptional and exemplary qualities of the nominee in the context of the department or program. Give examples of activities that go beyond excellent classroom teaching, such as curriculum development activities and service to teaching and learning in the department and the discipline.
    • Indicators of commitment to excellence in teaching, including participation in professional development around teaching and interest in the scholarship of effective teaching. Instances may include, for example, participation in Center for Research on Learning and Teaching (CRLT) programs, earning of the Rackham-CRLT Graduate Teacher Certificate, and active interest in assessment of student learning outcomes.
    • Examples that demonstrate dedication to excellence in mentoring and advising, both with undergraduates and other graduate students, and including students from diverse backgrounds.

    Letters have a maximum length of 1,350 words; those that exceed this limit may not be reviewed in full by the committee.

    Statement from Academic Advisor

    Nominations must include confirmation on letterhead from the nominee’s academic advisor or dissertation committee chair that the student is making adequate academic progress and continuing growth as a scholar. No more than a simple statement is required, but a more detailed letter of up to 500 words may be submitted.

    Statement of Teaching Philosophy

    The nomination dossier must include the student’s statement of teaching philosophy. This should be a well-structured and carefully articulated statement of up to 600 words (statements longer than 600 words may not be reviewed in full by the committee) that provides context and concrete examples of the teaching philosophy and that addresses the nominee’s:

    • Goals for student learning
    • Enactment and assessment of goals
    • Creating an inclusive learning environment

    A discussion of the elements for this statement is in the CRLT Occasional Paper, “Writing a Statement of Teaching Philosophy for the Academic Job Search.”

    Academic Transcript

    Provide a current unofficial transcript of the nominee’s graduate work.

    Curriculum Vitae

    Provide the nominee’s current c.v., including all courses taught to-date.
