The award arose from a task force that explored how to develop and promote innovative teaching across the university.
"The fact that 21.8 percent of 87 award recipients are part of the College of Health and Human Sciences underscores our commitment to engage students in innovative ways within our programs in the college,” said Dr. Ron Werner-Wilson, interim dean of the College of Health and Human Sciences. “Congratulations to all our faculty and graduate assistants who have received Innovation in Teaching Awards in November and in previous months.”
The award recipients received special recognition from the President David Cook and will be entered to win a $100 gift certificate at the upcoming Teaching and Learning Conference on Tuesday, May 21, 2024.
