The call for nominations for the 2022-2023 University-wide Teaching Awards is now open. These high-profile awards allow the university community to recognize the outstanding contributions of full-time and part-time faculty, and of teaching assistants to the learning experiences of our students.

We wanted to highlight two changes. There is a new award, ‘Award for Excellence in Online/Blended Course Development, Design, and Delivery’. And, last year the President’s Graduate Teaching Assistant Award became open to both undergraduate and graduate student instructors and was renamed the President’s Graduate/Undergraduate Student Teaching Award.  The university-wide teaching awards include:

·       Academic Innovation Award

·       Award for Excellence in Education for Diversity

·       Award for Excellence in Graduate Supervision

·       Award for Excellence in Online/Blended Course Development, Design, and Delivery

·       Contract and Limited-term Faculty Award for Excellence in Teaching

·       Contract and Limited-term Faculty Award for Excellence in Teaching

·       Contract and Limited-term Faculty Award for Excellence in Teaching

·       Dalhousie Alumni Association Faculty Award of Excellence for Teaching

·       Early Career Faculty Award of Excellence for Teaching

·       Educational Leadership Award for Collaborative Teaching

·       President’s Graduate/Undergraduate Student Teaching Award

·       Sessional and Part-time Instructor Award for Excellence in Teaching

We know that there are a number of outstanding teachers at Dalhousie who deserve to be nominated for these awards. I would encourage you to identify those individuals who might successfully compete for these awards. Your support in encouraging colleagues in your faculty to nominate their peers for these awards is essential and appreciated.

The annual deadline to nominate for these awards is January 31.
