Distinguished Teaching Award

The Distinguished Teaching Award is funded and sponsored by The University of Memphis Alumni Association. Four recipients of the award are selected by the Distinguished Teaching Award Committee, composed of past winners, from the twenty faculty receiving the most nominations. The selection process also includes assessment of the faculty member by his or her students and administrative head.

Posted November 17, 2006:

The Distinguished Teaching Award Committee is pleased to announce the finalists for the 2006/2007 Distinguished Teaching Award. Funded and sponsored by the University of Memphis Alumni Association, this award annually recognizes excellence in teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels.

The following UM faculty members have received sufficient nominations from faculty colleagues, alumni, and students to place among the top nominees for the 2006/2007 Distinguished Teaching Award. They also have met the further eligibility requirements to become part of the group of finalists from which the four 2006/2007 Distinguished Teaching Awards recipients will be selected after further evaluation supervised by the Committee. The Award will be presented to the four recipients at the Spring 2007 Faculty Convocation.

While only four faculty will receive the award, it is a great honor for the nominees listed below to have reached this stage in the process, and for this achievement they are to be congratulated. Accordingly, we are publishing this list to bring them to your attention, and we trust that you too will want to recognize them.
