Nominations are being accepted for the Michael J. Mungo Undergraduate Teaching Awards (four awards) and the Michael J. Mungo Graduate Teaching Award (one award).

The awards, which will be presented in the spring, recognize and reward excellence in teaching on the Columbia campus. Each winner will receive $2,500.

The awards are open to all full-time tenured or tenure-track faculty, including faculty who are candidates for, or who have already received, other teaching awards.

Nominations can be made by students, faculty, department chairs, and deans. Anyone making a nomination should designate each one for an undergraduate teaching award or for the graduate teaching award.

The deadline for nominations is Dec. 8.

Nominees will be notified and asked to provide specific information by February 2, 2007. Winners will be recommended by the University Faculty Committee on Instructional Development under the supervision of the Provost, who will make the final selection for the awards.

Winners will be announced at the General Faculty meeting May 2, 2007.
