Dear Class of 2013,
Each year at Commencement, our community celebrates the achievements of the graduating class, and pays tribute to the faculty who helped enable the success of its members. At this year’s ceremony on May 18, we will continue that tradition by presenting the President’s Award for Distinguished Teaching to a full-time, tenured or tenure-track professor from the College of Liberal Arts.
I invite you to take part in the selection process by nominating an outstanding professor (or professors) whose impact helped you realize your full academic potential. Nominations must be submitted using the form below and are due by Friday, April 12, at 5:00 p.m. Please direct questions to Communications Associate & Special Assistant to the President Michael E. Bressman, who can be reached at mbressma@drew.edu.
I look forward to reading your endorsements of excellent teachers who represent the collective talents or our entire faculty.
Best,
Vivian A. Bull
University President
About the President’s Award for Distinguished Teaching:
The President’s Award for Distinguished Teaching is annually awarded to a full-time faculty member from the College of Liberal Arts whose work represents the student-faculty bond that serves as the backbone of our community. This high honor includes a cash award, half of which is given directly to the winner, while the other half is directed to any campus project or department of his or her choosing.
All past winners are ineligible, with the most recent honorees being professors Roger Knowles (2006), Geraldine Smith-Wright (2007), Margaret A. Kuntz (2008), Christina McKittrick (2009), Marc Tomljanovich (2010), Lillie Edwards (2011) and Seung-Kee Lee (2012). The winner, who will be recognized at Commencement, will be chosen based on the strength of your nominations.
