The Washington State University Teaching Academy has presented awards to faculty members systemwide who have demonstrated excellence in teaching and scholarship this year. “We value the accomplishments of this year’s awardees as educators, scholars, and role models for others,” said Kara Whitman, academy chair. “They have gone above and beyond, and it is an honor for the academy to recognize their efforts.”

The Washington State University Teaching Academy has opened online applications for three annual awards in support of great teaching and learning systemwide, said Nicholas Cerruti, member and grants and awards committee chair. “The deadline is March 22, giving adequate time for teachers at every campus to evaluate each award and submit the required materials to be considered,” he said. The award recipients will be celebrated at an awards ceremony April 11.
