Nominations are invited of all full-time faculty members who have provided a record of exceptional achievements in teaching. To qualify for inclusion in this event, a faculty nominee must have a record of outstanding activity during the past three years (January 2000 - December 2004).

Department Chairs should review all departmental faculty and nominate up to 20% of all full-time members as outstanding teacher scholars. Chairs must include a brief description and documentation (no more than 150 words) of the nominee's outstanding work. These nominations should be forwarded to the College Dean who will review and recommend 15 to 20% of the faculty from their College for recognition. Deans should forward nominations in their College with the descriptions and documentation prepared by the chairs to the Faculty Development Center ( lstotler@fullerton.edu in PL-48).
