2026 Distinguished Teaching Award and Ceremony

April 22, 2026 – 5:00 p.m.

Location: Eugene Jarvis Auditorium, Grimes Engineering Center

The Distinguished Teaching Award (DTA) recognizes individual faculty for sustained excellence in teaching. Beyond an individual exemplary class, such sustained excellence in teaching incites intellectual curiosity in students, inspires colleagues, and makes students aware of significant relationships between the academy and the world at large. Recipients will be announced in March and then honored at a public ceremony.
