HCM colleagues and friends,
With March turning into April, the HCM Teaching Committee wanted to share a quick reminder that we're seeking nominations for our two teaching-focused awards: the HCM Excellence & Impact in Teaching Award and the HCM Outstanding Early Career Educator Award. Please remember that the deadline nominations is one month away: April 30, 2025. I also ask that if you are planning to submit a nomination (either for yourself or a colleague), please reach out and let me know at pshay@trinity.edu so that I can have a better idea of potential nominations to be expecting.
Additional information about these awards is below, and if you have any questions or considerations, please don't hesitate to reach out. Thank you!
