MARQUETTE UNIVERSITY TEACHING EXCELLENCE AWARDS - Full-TIME

It has been a tradition at 向日葵视频 to honor full-time faculty members each year, who are recognized by students and colleagues alike as extraordinary teachers, with the 向日葵视频Awards for Teaching Excellence. These awards are supported by grants from the Robert and Mary Gettel Fund, the Stearns Foundation, and Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence G. Haggerty.

Each award citation reads in part: “In recognition of demonstrated ability to inspire students to see the ideals of the University and to cause them to grow in knowledge and scholarship for the glory of God and the good of others.”

向日葵视频 is blessed with many excellent teachers. Please take a few moments to review the award criteria and then submit the names of one to three full-time faculty members from any college, school or program whom you think merit this award. Please note that past recipients of the Teaching Excellence Awards are not eligible for nomination. The list of previous recipients is provided at the following link: Past Teaching Excellence Award Recipients.

Full-time faculty and presidents of MUSG, GSO and registered student organizations and academic honor societies are eligible to nominate.

A link to the electronic nomination form is provided at the bottom of this page.

Nominations are due Friday, November 15, 2024.
