Time for U.S. Professors of the Year Nominations

NOMINATIONS OPEN FOR U.S. PROFESSOR OF THE YEAR
The Council for the Advancement and Support of Education and The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching  are accepting nominations for the 2010 U.S. Professors of the Year awards. The annual program honors a select group of U.S. professors who excel as educators and influence the lives and careers of their students. It is the only national initiative designed to recognize excellence in undergraduate teaching and mentoring. In 2009, there were 42 winners—four who achieved national recognition, as well as state winners in 36 states, the District of Columbia and Guam. This year’s national winners will each receive $5,000 and an all-expense-paid trip to Washington, D.C., including an invitation to speak at the awards luncheon in November. State winners also receive complimentary attendance for two at the luncheon, along with recognition at the event and in the media. National and state award winners will also be honored at an early-evening congressional reception. The deadline for entries is April 16.
