Students, faculty, and staff – you are invited to make nominations for the 2017 Distinguished Contributions to Teaching and Learning awards from CTL. All faculty or full-time staff who have been employed at the college for at least three years are eligible for the awards. You submit a nomination in one three areas:
Teaching
Outstanding teaching encompasses many forms, pedagogies and is not restricted to the classroom. As such, nominations made in this category should demonstrate the nominee’s active engagement with students, creative approaches to instruction, ability to challenge students, and their overall passion for teaching. Up to two awards may be given in this category, one for FULL-TIME faculty and one for ADJUNCT faculty (2 courses per term or less).
Service
Nominations for this award should demonstrate the nominee’s impact on the college, community, or their discipline in a substantial and meaningful way. Nominees that impact the lives of students through supportive, thoughtful, and comprehensive mentoring and advising that go beyond the normal expectations of guiding students are eligible for this award.
Scholarship
Nominees in this category may be recognized for a consistent record of scholarship or a single project. In recognizing multiple forms of intellectual inquiry, nominations should speak directly to both the quality of scholarship as well as its contribution to their discipline, the college, or community.
Nominations deadline: February 20, 2017
Submit your nomination using the online form on the CTL awards webpage.

The Faculty Summa Committee is seeking new members to facilitate panels for graduating seniors seeking the highest Latin honor, Summa Cum Laude. Along with a 3.9 or above GPA, these students meet for one hour with their advisor, a non-major faculty member, and a summa committee member to review a portfolio of their work and to reflect on their experiences at Augsburg. This is a unique opportunity to celebrate the accomplishments of some of our most successful students, to meet faculty from outside your home department, and to contribute service to the college. Early-career faculty in particular will benefit from meeting new people and making interdisciplinary connections without onerous time commitments.
