Established in 2019 with a gift from the Marie M. and James H. Galloway Foundation, the Provost Academic Professional Track (APT) Faculty Teaching Excellence Award encourages, recognizes and rewards faculty recipients for exceptional teaching practices that create meaningful learning experiences for students. The award illustrates both the impact of an effective teaching approach and the value of student-centered learning. Thanks to the ongoing support of Faculty Affairs, recipients receive a $5,000 cash stipend to support teaching innovations, teaching-related projects, and teaching activities that enhance student learning. Recipients will hold this award title for life.
