HCM Excellence in Teaching Award: Call for Nominations

Eligibility

All members of a University-level academic staff, tenured or on full time contract are eligible for an award. Recipients must have been employed in a teaching position for at least three years within higher education. Award winners will not be eligible for re-nomination for 3 years. Self-nominations are acceptable.

Applicants will be assessed on the basis of their success in developing effective teaching methods, courses, and/or teaching materials that generate student learning, critical thinking, problem-solving, collaboration, and/or research. Nominees must exhibit a commitment to teaching health care management; stimulate active, continuous learning; inspire excellence in students' achievements; promote independent learning; and create an environment for the development of critical and open thought.

Selection

Selection will be made by the members of the Teaching Award Selection Committee, an ad hoc committee that is assembled each year. The nominator/nominee must compile all documentation in support of the nomination. Materials will not be returned to the applicant. Awardees will be notified in advance. The Award (which includes peer recognition, a plaque, and a $250 honorary educational grant) will be presented at the Academy of Management Annual Meeting.

Nominators should develop a letter of nomination, obtain the candidate's CV and two additional letters of support, at least one of those being from a current or former student. Please send all nominations or any questions you have to Cheryl Rathert, Chair of the Teaching Committee: crathert@vcu.edu
