The Excellence in Teaching Award, formerly known as the Distinguished Teaching Award, was established to honor and publicly recognize an outstanding faculty member in Arts & Sciences for exceptional teaching. Arts & Sciences has a long history of distinguished educators and innovative teaching that enriches the lives of undergraduate and graduate students, and the establishment of this award is a tribute to this tradition.
All tenured and tenure-track Arts & Sciences faculty, professors of the practice, lecturers, and adjuncts are eligible and may be nominated by anyone in the Washington University community.
