Teaching is at the core of what faculty members do at DePaul University. In support of its affirmation of the teaching mission, the university presents the Excellence in Teaching Awards annually. These awards recognize outstanding and significant achievement in teaching and commitment to the teaching mission.

Students, faculty and staff members in the College of Education may submit nominations. They should be typed in letter form and signed, detailing reasons why the faculty member should be considered for the Excellence in Teaching Award. Each letter should contain only one faculty nomination per letter. However, you are allowed to submit a nomination letter for more than one faculty member. Nominations for this year should be submitted by February 1 to Erin Rice, Executive Assistant, at erice19@depaul.edu.
