While we realize that not all residency programs provide the full range of teaching opportunities that we have enumerated, we believe the resident recipient should fulfill as many of the criteria as possible to be considered an exemplary future teacher.
No more than one award may be given per residency program, but it need not be given each year.
Faculty select their program's recipient and then complete an online form to request a certificate for the resident chosen to receive this honor.
Once you submit the form, a download of the certificate will be available for you to print out and frame. You will be responsible for presenting the certificate to your award winner.
