Dear COEHD Faculty,
The U. T. System is seeking nominations for the
2018 Regents’ Outstanding Teaching Awards. Per Steve Leslie, Executive Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, “The awards will recognize faculty who deliver the highest quality of undergraduate instruction, demonstrate their commitment to teaching, and
have a history and promising future of sustained excellence with undergraduate teaching.” Tenured, tenure-track, and non-tenure-track award recipients will receive $25,000 each.
The University of Texas at San Antonio will submit a cadre of tenured, tenure-track, and non-tenure-track/adjunct
nominees for consideration of the award. Therefore, each college will submit a maximum of the following numbers of nominees:
|
Tenured Nominees |
Tenure-Track Nominees * |
Non-Tenure Track/Adjunct * |

* Nominees must have at least three years teaching experience at the university level.
The nomination of strong candidates who
may already have received teaching awards or teaching award nominations is encouraged.
