Nominations being accepted for Outstanding Public Health Faculty awards

Since the 2018-2019 Academic Year, your Student Association of Public Health (SAPH) has partnered with the School of Public Health Dean’s Office and Office of Academic & Student Affairs to recognize outstanding faculty members with two teaching awards. These awards pay tribute to outstanding Public Health professors for their teaching inside the classroom. They continue to be awarded each year at the end of the academic year and are fully selected by the student body.

Though the awards will be presented prior to the completion of the Spring 2021 semester, we need your nominations now to make sure we don’t forget about the fantastic work done by your course instructors this year! If you have someone you would like to nominate, the form is quick and easy. To nominate a professor, tell us your name and program of study along with the name of the faculty member you want to nominate for the award. Additionally, we’re asking you to provide a few short sentences detailing why you think the person is the best fit for the award (examples from class that stand out to you). For more information, and to complete your nomination, see below:
