Nominating is easy. Simply send an email nomination by 11:59pm on Sunday, April 23 for excellent teaching you experienced in SHASS classes during Fall 2022 or Spring 2023.
A complete nomination includes the following information:
- Your name and email
- Name of the instructor you are nominating
- Subject(s) taken with that instructor
- A detailed explanation of why you are nominating this instructor
Your explanation may comment on:
- Teaching effectiveness

The committee will consider both the quantity and quality of nominations submitted in support of each instructor. Successful nominations usually include specific examples of what makes your nominee excellent. Aggregate testimonials from multiple students are also welcome.
In order to be eligible for the award, the instructor or teaching assistant must be nominated for work in a class with a SHASS subject-designation, and must be a non-visiting member of a SHASS unit.
Nominations are solicited during both fall and spring semesters and prizes are awarded once a year in the spring in separate categories for professors, lecturers, and teaching assistants.
