We invite individual faculty members, departments and student organizations to submit nominations of faculty members whose teaching is of such quality that it merits recognition and award. The committee encourages the nomination of any exceptional distinguished teacher, regardless of specialty or rank.
The UW-Madison faculty distinguished teaching awards are: six Chancellor's Distinguished Teaching Awards; the Class of 1955 Teaching Excellence Award, which is designated for an instructor, assistant or associate professor; the William H. Kiekhofer Teaching Award, the first teaching award presented at the UW and which is designated for an L&S assistant professor or associate professor; the Emil Steiger Teaching Award, created in 1958; and the Van Hise Outreach Teaching Award, created to recognize excellence in outreach teaching.
In addition to selecting recipients of UW-Madison faculty distinguished teaching awards, the Teaching Awards Committee also selects nominations of faculty for UW System awards: the Regents Teaching Excellence Award recognizes outstanding career achievements in teaching at a UW System institution; and the Alliant Energy Underkofler Excellence in Teaching Award recognizes outstanding teaching that leads to substantial intellectual growth in students. This year the committee will forward to UW System one faculty nomination for the Regents Teaching Excellence Award and one faculty nomination for the Alliant Energy Underkofler Excellence in Teaching Award.
