Awards for Outstanding Contributions to Education
Two University-wide annual award programs recognize faculty commitment to quality education. Recipients of the Morse-Alumni awards and the Graduate and Professional Teaching awards are inducted into the Academy of Distinguished Teachers (http://www.adt.umn.edu) and carry the designation of Distinguished University Teaching Professor throughout their careers at the University of Minnesota.
Candidates for the awards are nominated by their colleges. A selection committee appointed by the Senate Committee on Educational Policy chooses the recipients. These awards are made possible through the generous support of the University of Minnesota Alumni Association and the Office of the Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost.
