Subject: Call for nominations: 2018 School of Science Teaching Prizes

Dear Students and Faculty,

I am writing to invite you to nominate faculty members for the 2018 School of Science Teaching Prizes. These are given for both Undergraduate and Graduate Education.

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.

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.

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).

Nomination letters from faculty members or students for either award are welcome. Nominations are made by simply filling out the nomination form<http://science.mit.edu/teaching-prize-nomination-form> by the deadline on May 25, 2018. Although one strong letter is sufficient, additional letters of support are useful. You may want to get fellow students or colleagues to submit supporting nominations for your candidate. You can use one form or multiple forms to do this.

Your nominations are really important! Please help us recognize teaching excellence in Science and at MIT. For additional information please contact: Heather Williams, (heatherg at mit.edu<mailto:heatherg at mit.edu>, 253-8904) or Annie Lee (ayl at mit.edu<mailto:ayl at mit.edu>, 253-5951).

Many thanks,

Dean Michael Sipser
