I am writing to invite you to nominate faculty members for the<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b>2018 School of Science Teaching Prizes</b>. These are given for both<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b>Undergraduate and Graduate Education</b>.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
The Teaching Prize for Undergraduate Education recognizes outstanding teaching not only in the undergraduate subjects with large enrollments (such as those that satisfy the General Institute Requirements in science), but also in upper-level science subjects
in which enrollments are smaller.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
For the Teaching Prize for Graduate Education, preference will be given to nominees who teach mainstream subjects in which fundamental principles of the relevant fields are presented. Such courses typically provide the basis for advanced education and research
and prepare students for professional careers.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
You can nominate a professor teaching a GIR, a fundamental or more specialized Science subject. Science subjects are Courses 5 (Chemistry), 7 (Biology), 9 (Brain and Cognitive Sciences), 8 (Physics), 12 (Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences) and 18 (Mathematics).<o:p></o:p></div>
