Do you know an educator who goes above and beyond to inspire learning at York University?
The President’s University-Wide Teaching Awards celebrate those who, through innovation and commitment, have significantly enhanced the quality of learning for York students.
Each year, four awards are presented 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).
Award recipients are selected by the Senate Committee on Awards and receive $3,000, have their names engraved on the University-Wide Teaching Award plaques in Vari Hall and are recognized at convocation ceremonies.
Nominations are online only and are due by 4:30 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 30, 2026.
The Teaching Awards criteria and nomination form are available on the Senate Committee on Awards webpage.
