Changes to Michigan Tech's Distinguished Teaching Award Categories
Beginning with the 2025 award process, Michigan Tech's Distinguished Teaching Award will introduce updated teaching categories to better recognize outstanding educators across different stages of their careers:
-
Early Career Distinguished Teaching Award: Honors exceptional teaching by assistant professors and assistant teaching professors.
-
Distinguished Teaching Award: Honors exemplary teaching by faculty at the associate professor, associate teaching professor, professor, teaching professor, and professor of practice levels.
This student-driven award process highlights five finalists in each category, determined by student ratings of instruction from the previous calendar year.
