Review of Application Materials
The process for determining the winner of the STC Teaching Award was developed by the CTE’s undergraduate advisory board. The winner is selected by a committee composed of members of the CTE Faculty Fellows. Selection criteria are based on a review of instructional materials and instructor and course evaluations from the Office of the Registrar. The two winners are selected from the self-nominations of courses from spring and fall semesters from the calendar year prior the award ceremony. Both winners can be from the same semester.
