The President’s University-Wide Teaching Awards (PUWTA) honour those who, through innovation and commitment, have significantly enhanced the quality of learning for York students. Four awards are offered each year in the following categories:
- full-time tenured faculty with 10 or more years of full-time teaching experience at York;
- full-time faculty (tenured/tenure-stream/CLA) with less than 10 years of teaching experience at York;
- contract and adjunct faculty; and
- teaching assistants (TAs).
Recipients of the awards, selected by the Senate Committee on Awards, receive $3,000, have their names engraved on the University-Wide Teaching Award plaques in Vari Hall, and are recognized at convocation ceremonies.
Nominators are encouraged to approach the Teaching Commons to explore ways to best highlight the teaching strengths and accomplishments of the nominee.
An information session about this award is available here.
All nominations must be submitted online by 4:30 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 14.
The Teaching Awards criteria and nomination form are available on the Senate Committee on Awards webpage.
