The Teaching Innovation Award celebrates faculty and teaching staff who create engaging, effective, and student-centered learning experiences. This prestigious award honors those who demonstrate creativity in their teaching approaches, whether through innovative course design, active learning strategies, integration of technology, or unique assessment methods.
Innovation in teaching is essential for fostering student success and academic excellence. By recognizing educators who implement forward-thinking strategies, this award encourages continuous improvement and inspires others to rethink how they approach teaching and learning. Winners not only receive a certificate of recognition but also $1,000 in professional development funds to further enhance their teaching practice.
We encourage all faculty and teaching staff—whether full-time, part-time, or adjunct to submit a proposal. If you’ve experimented with new teaching methods, developed engaging learning activities, or contributed to a culture of innovation in the classroom, this is your opportunity to be recognized for your efforts. Participation is a great way to reflect on your teaching and share your successes with the university community.
