Nominate an MPH professor for the Chancellor's Distinguished Teaching Award!

I'm just copying an e-mail we all received here because I don't recognize any MPH professors in the list of previous winners.  Since we all know we have some great professors in the program, we encourage you to nominate the one you think is best!  


 Chancellor's Distinguished Teaching Award

The Chancellor selects faculty members in the schools of Health Professions, Medicine, and Nursing at the
University of Kansas Medical Center to be recipients of the Chancellor's Distinguished Teaching Award.

Faculty members with excellence in teaching while at KUMC may be nominated by a faculty colleague, student, or alumnus.  Each nomination must include:

1.      Nominator's letter summarizing the faculty member's
               a.   worthiness for receiving this award;
               b.   formal teaching responsibilities; and
               c.   voluntary additional teaching (interdepartmental, etc.), if any;
2.      Nominee's curriculum vitae, indicating reception of other teaching awards, if any;
3.      Copies of past formal evaluations of the nominee's teaching made by students and residents; and
4.      Evaluations by faculty peers.

Additional letters in support of the nomination are not required but are recommended.  A maximum of five individuals’ letters will be accepted.  Nominations must be submitted by Friday, January 27, 2012, and directed to my attention, Office of Academic Affairs, 5015 Wescoe, Mail Stop 1040, University of Kansas Medical Center, 3901 Rainbow Boulevard, Kansas City, Kansas  66160.
