UTC Teaching Awards

The University Teaching Council offers two opportunities to recognize the amazing instructors we have at 51³Ô¹ÏÍø:

Outstanding Teaching Award

The Outstanding Teaching Award (OTA) is the highest teaching award accorded to non tenure-track and part-time faculty at 51³Ô¹ÏÍø. The award recognizes three 51³Ô¹ÏÍø faculty members annually and parallels the Distinguished Teaching Awards sponsored by the Kent Alumni Association.

Students are encouraged to nominate their instructors for an Instructor Recognition Award. These awards are an opportunity to highlight all 51³Ô¹ÏÍø instructors who have been motivated, engaged, and inspired their students. Nominees will receive a certificate of recognition at the annual UTC Conference.
