Submissions Being Accepted for Professors of the Year Awards

NAICU Washington Update


March 3, 2011


Nominations are now being accepted for the 2011 U.S. Professors of the Year awards.  Sponsored by the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) and the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, it is the only national awards program that focuses solely on excellent undergraduate teaching and mentoring. The deadline for all entries is April 18.

The program is open to educators at four-year and two-year institutions in the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Four national winners will each receive $5,000 and an all-expense-paid trip to Washington, D.C., including an invitation to speak at the 2011 awards luncheon in November.  State winners also receive complimentary attendance for two at the luncheon, along with recognition at the event and in the media.  National and state award winners also will be honored at an early-evening congressional reception.

Nomination materials and information on the awards program are available on the U.S. Professors of the Year website.
