Dear Colleagues, 

Deadline extended to close of business Feb 15, 2024.

Last fall WKU created a new award to recognize the outstanding achievements and dedication of faculty members who consistently inspire and educate our students. The university has a long tradition of fostering and celebrating the craft of teaching. To date, faculty have been recognized through college and university teaching awards, as well as CITL Teaching Honors. 

I am excited to announce two new awards that will enhance the visibility of effective and transformative teaching practices. One award recognizes Excellence in Online Teaching and Course Design, and the other is intended to honor Excellence in Colonnade Program Instruction. The two recognitions seek to highlight exceptional commitment to delivering high-quality education in two areas that are crucial to student success at WKU: online instruction and general education. Recipients of both awards will be recognized alongside college and university award winners and will receive an honorarium.
