The Distinguished Instructor Award recognizes teaching excellence. Faculty members are nominated by their peers and then evaluated by a committee including Æðµã´«Ã½ students, a previous Distinguished Instructor Award recipient, members of the Æðµã´«Ã½ Foundation, Board of Trustees and community members. The committee considers each instructor’s contributions to teaching and learning, the college mission and the community.

A plaque reflecting the names of the award recipients is displayed in Æðµã´«Ã½â€™s Office of Instruction located in the Science Building.
