Weinberg College Outstanding Graduate Student Teacher Awards
Each year the College selects three teaching assistants to receive Weinberg College Outstanding Graduate Student Teacher Awards, one per Division. A Committee on Teaching Awards evaluates nominations from departments and undergraduate students and recommends candidates to the Dean. The award carries a cash stipend of $1,000.
Eligibility
- Any graduate student who has carried out the duties of teaching assistant or has taught their own course in 2019-2020 or 2020-2021 is eligible. Previous winners are ineligible.
- Excellence in work with undergraduates is the primary criterion of the award.
Nomination materials
- Letter of nomination (typically from the department chair).
- Current CV.
- Statement from the nominee setting forth their goals as a teacher and assessment of success in meeting those goals.
- Log of all courses taught in the past three years with CTECs and syllabi.
- Supporting letters from not fewer than three nor more than five current undergraduate students or recent college graduates.
The deadline for receipt of materials in the Dean's Office is February 15th (if February 15th falls on a weekend, the due date is the following Monday). A single PDF file of the nomination materials for each candidate should be emailed to Elizabeth Kim. Please feel free to address questions or comments to her as well.
