Distinguished TA Awards
At the end of the academic year, the Center for Teaching Excellence, the Dean
for Undergraduate Studies, and the Dean of the Graduate School recognize
outstanding graduate teaching assistants at the University of Maryland . A May
reception is hosted in their honor at the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center,
and each is presented with a certificate recognizing his or her contributions as
a Distinguished Teaching Assistant.
At the beginning of the spring semester, Distinguished Teaching Assistants are
selected by department chairpersons. Because this award is meant to honor the
most outstanding teaching assistants, CTE asks that only the top ten percent of
all teaching assistants within a department be identified as Distinguished
Teaching Assistants. Specific nomination criteria are at the discretion of the
individual department.
Nomination calls are sent to all department chairs by CTE in March and are
generally due back to CTE in April. If you have any questions, please contact
CTE's Coordinator of Graduate Student Programs at (301) 314-1283.
