Robert and Louise Lee Collaborative Teaching Award

Faculty are invited to apply for the Robert and Louise Lee Collaborative Teaching Award.  Interested groups of faculty may apply by submitting 4 copies of the application to the Faculty Development Center, PLS48 on or before Monday, March 17, 2008 by 5 p.m.

The Award

This award was established by Robert and Louise Lee in 1995 to support departments engaged in collaborative teaching and learning.  It provides a one-time stipend of $1,500 to help defray the costs of a new or on-going project developed by faculty collaborators engaged in enhancing student learning.

The Proposal

The proposal must include a clear statement of the project goals and activities and include a letter of support from the Chair.  The successful project should represent a collaboration at the department level that will improve and encourage an on-going dialogue about, and support for, teaching and learning.  Interdepartmental projects that involve two or more departments are also invited.  At the completion of the project, or within the following academic year the department(s) shall report activity by conducting a seminar open to the university community.  Arrangements for this seminar will be made through the Faculty Development Center.

Review Process

The proposals will be reviewed by the grant review subcommittee of faculty and students. The committee's recommendations will be submitted to the Vice President for Academic Affairs, who will make the final decision and announcement.

An announcement of the department(s) selected for the award will be made by the end of Spring 2008 and the stipend will be awarded in the Fall 2008.
