President's Distinguished Teaching Award
Recognizing faculty members’ roles in the creation of innovative environments that enable student learning within and across disciplinary, cultural, and ethnic boundaries, Carl and Margaret Liedholm have established the President’s Distinguished Teaching Award. The award is open to current MSU academic specialists and tenure-system faculty who have a sustained record (generally three or more years) of substantial teaching responsibilities (generally, at least one class each semester) at Michigan State University and have implemented creative and effective ways to foster student learning. Preference will be given to those engaged in undergraduate teaching.
The award is intended to be a surprise to the recipient, so candidates should not be informed that they have been nominated.
