ISU Excellence in General Education Teaching Award Nominations Sought
This award recognizes and celebrates general education faculty who engage students with
innovative teaching practices, help non-majors understand and broadly apply disciplinary
methods of inquiry (ways of knowing), and implement strategies to increase access and
affordability to students.
Nominations will be vetted first by the CoSE Dean's Office, then by the ISU GERC committee, and overall recipients of the award in each General Education Objective will be recognized in Spring 2024. Winning nominees for Objectives #1-6 will be forwarded for the state GEM Innovative Educator award process, while winners from Objectives #7-9 will be recognized by ISU only.
