Teaching
Each year, the College recognizes excellence in teaching in three categories:

Category 1   Tenured and tenure-track faculty: the Alumni Outstanding Teacher Award
Category 2   Full-time Lecturers and Instructors: Excellence in Teaching  Award - FT
Category 3   Part-time Lecturers: Excellence in Teaching Award - PT

We anticipate that the number of awards in each category each year will be proportional to the number of eligible teachers and, normally, will be three awards in Category 1, one award in Category 2, and two awards in Category 3.
