Nominate a Prof./TA for PPMU's Most Outstanding Teaching Award!

It’s that time of the year again, school’s almost out and I am sure most of you are looking forward to the summer! I wanted to let ya’ll know about an award that the Public Policy Majors Union gives out every year at graduation:

The Most Outstanding Teaching Award

This is an award from students, traditionally given to an outstanding public policy faculty member who has gone above and beyond the call of duty to interact with his or her students and enhance the learning process, in and out of the classroom. Take a moment to reflect and think about who you would like to nominate. Who has particularly challenged you? Who has forced you to think critically and defend your ideas? Who has supported you and encouraged your study of public policy? Who has made an impact on your college experience?

This year, we will be giving out two awards, one to an outstanding faculty member and one to an outstanding Teaching Fellow (TA/Graduate Student Teacher).

In the past, Faculty members have taken this award very seriously and they appreciate being honored, and we’re really happen to have the chance to honor an outstanding Teaching Fellow this year as well.

Even if you've had no interaction with the Majors Union this year, this is a great way you can recognize excellent teaching in our department. All Public Policy students from first-years to seniors are eligible to vote.

To vote, please use the survey monkey link below:

Please vote only once and nominate only one person for each award: Outstanding Faculty and Outstanding Teaching Fellow. Voting has already begun and will end at noon on Saturday, May 3, 2008.

Please contact Angela Lee at angelalee@unc.edu if you have any problems with the survey. Thanks!
