Dear COEHD Faculty,
The U. T. System is seeking nominations for the 2014 Regents' Outstanding Teaching
Awards. Per Pedro Reyes, 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 the following nominees for
consideration of the award: 8 tenured, 3 tenure-track, and 3 non-tenure-track/adjunct
instructors for consideration for the awards. Therefore, each college will submit a
maximum of the following numbers of nominees:
Tenured Nominees
Tenure-Track Nominees *
Non-Tenure Track/Adjunct *

1
* Nominees must have at least three years teaching experience at the university level.
Below you will find the COEHD timeline for the submission/review process. As you can see,
the timeframe is very tight and the awards are quite large. Therefore, it is important
that we adhere to the timeline.
The nomination process will be conducted in two phases:
Phase I:
1) Nomination packets should be submitted to Liliana Gutierrez
(liliana.gutierrez@utsa.edu<mailto:liliana.gutierrez@utsa.edu>) in the COEHD-Office
of the Dean no later than Monday, December 2, 2013.
All nomination packets must contain the following materials for Phase I review:
1. A completed application form (attached),
2. A CV that emphasizes teaching accomplishments (maximum: 15 pages) and
3. A written statement delineating their philosophy of teaching (maximum: 3 pages, 12
pt. font).
Information regarding how to compose a quality teaching philosophy statement can be found
on-line at http://www.utsa.edu/tlc (click on Faculty, then on Portfolio Resources).
2) Each college will identify their nominees and email their names to Dr. Nancy
Martin.
Phase II: The UTSA Award Selection Committee will determine the University's cohort
of nominees. These 14 UTSA candidates will develop a full e-portfolio that will be
submitted for consideration at the U.T. System level. To make all the candidates more
competitive, they will provide resources on teaching portfolios and teaching philosophy
statements and opportunities for classroom observations and portfolio reviews.
If the need for further information should arise, please consult the Faculty Awards web
site at www.utsa.edu/facultyawards<http://www.utsa.edu/facultyawards> (click on
