Seabury Award for Excellence in Teaching
Seabury Award for Excellence in Teaching
The Seabury Award for Excellence in Teaching has been awarded since 1961. This award is the highest honor a faculty member can receive from the College. The Seabury Award for Excellence in Teaching is given at Commencement each year to a member of the College Faculty with an exemplary teaching record usually over a number of years. The recognition takes the form of a plaque and a cash award made possible through the generosity of the Charles Ward Seabury family. The recipient of the award is chosen each year by a committee comprised of the last six recipients of the award and the two students who receive the Wood Achievement Awards that year.
Each spring the Seabury Award Committee invites students and faculty to nominate persons to receive this recognition. Nominations explain why the nominee would be a worthy recipient, with attention given to such considerations as:
- One’s enthusiasm for the subject and capacity to stimulate students’ interest in that subject;
- One’s effectiveness in helping students move toward greater intellectual and personal maturity;
- One’s engagement in scholarly and creative activities, or in cross-disciplinary study;
- One’s willingness to be involved, socially and intellectually, with students outside the classroom and in College activities.
