Your nomination, along with nominations from other students, will be reviewed by a Student Selection Committee to determine the Faculty Excellence Awards recipients. The award recipients will be announced at the May 4th Commencement Ceremony.
If the instructor(s) you nominated is not one of the award recipients, the instructor(s) will still be notified that they were nominated, along with anonymous comments from student nominations. You may nominate more than one instructor, but you cannot nominate an instructor more than once!
So give it some thought and submit your nomination(s)! Nominations will be accepted until March 11th, 2013 at this link: Click here to take a survey.
