Exemplary Teacher Award
Exemplary Teacher of the Year Award
The Exemplary Teacher of the Year Award, presented annually at Commencement, is a faculty honor supported by the United Methodist Church's General Board of Higher Education and Ministry.
The selection criteria for the award include:
- Demonstration of exceptional teaching
- Recognized concern for students and colleagues, and sensitivity to the mission of the church-related university
- A record of significant contributions to the scholarly life of the university
- Commitment to high standards of professional and personal life
In support of Emory's belief that "the intellectual and social energy that results from diversity is a primary asset of the university," special consideration should be given to nominees that reflect this commitment to inclusiveness.
Nominations are solicited from the members of the university community early in the calendar year.
They should include a nomination letter highlighting the candidate's specific qualifications for this award, along with the nominee's CV, so that a final candidate for Emory may be identified. All nomination materials should be sent to the director of faculty affairs.
