One Part-Time Faculty Excellence in Teaching Award may be given per academic college annually. Each award will consist of a certificate and a monetary award of $1,000. All instructors of record teaching 75% or less FTE in both long semesters of the preceding calendar year that have taught throughout the entire course are eligible for these awards, exclusive of those faculty members who have received this award in the preceding three years. 

A call for applications will go out spring 2025.

Recommendation and Awards

The NLFC Chair will submit the committee’s recommendations to the Faculty Senate for endorsement. Once approved, the NLFC Chair will notify the College Deans of the award recipients. The Deans will present certificates, or other suitable awards, at the fall college convocation meetings.
