Graduate Dean's Awards for Instructional Excellence
This Award is available to graduate student instructors who demonstrate outstanding achievement in teaching. It presents academic departments with an annual opportunity to honor graduate students who have shown exceptional skill and dedication in their work. It is also a way for us to stress the importance we place on the undergraduate experience at CASE, by recognizing quality at another key point of student contact with this University.
Eligibility for this Award includes graduate students who assist with a course, a lab, or a recitation, or who assist with grading or tutoring. Furthermore, candidates for nomination must have completed, or be currently enrolled in, the non-credit course UNIV 400, which is a course required of graduate students who provide instruction for undergraduate courses.

Nominations
Nomination procedures are being worked out. In general, TAs may be nominated by their peers, their faculty supervisors, their co-instructors, or themselves. Nominations will occur by early February each year. Nominated TAs will be asked to submit a brief portfolio of relevant teaching documentation. From this pool, several TAs will be recommended to the Graduate School (in early March) for this award. Final awards are made by the Graduate Dean.
