Teaching Awards
The McMaster Student’s Union recognizes faculty members with the following awards:
Faculty Awards:
This award recognizes outstanding all round teaching performance of the instructor. Award recipients are selected from the results of student votes and follow up evaluations.
Merit Awards:
Awarded to first or second year instructors. This award is designed to recognize and encourage new instructors whose teaching abilities and contribution to the McMaster community have been significant, effective and are therefore worthy of distinction.
Lifetime Achievement Awards:
Presented to one or more instructors who have shown dedication to teaching at McMaster University for at least ten years, have been nominated for an MSU Teaching Award in the past and are close to retirement. This award recognizes the significant contribution by an instructor to the McMaster community due to their proven years of outstanding teaching but also considers their contributions to academia.
