I am very pleased to announce the call for nominations for the AUB Award
for Excellence in Teaching. This award is to recognize individual members
of the faculty who are gifted teachers and who have guided students into
avenues of critical thinking and creativity in their academic fields. It
represents a tangible appreciation for excellence in teaching, and
recognition that good teaching is central to the mission of AUB.
Current, full-time faculty members who have taught at AUB for the last six
semesters will be eligible for the award. Nominations may be submitted
by students, faculty members, deans, department chairs, and alumni, and
should be sent with a formal letter to the Office of the Provost by March

a clear statement from the nominee accepting the nomination, a curriculum

Up to two faculty members will receive the AUB Award for Excellence in
Teaching each year. They will be chosen by a judging panel that includes
