The Alumni Association has been presenting these awards since November 2000. The purpose of the awards is: "To encourage and reward faculty interactions, sharing of ideas, collaboration, and other acts of professionalism that affect classroom performance, with a special emphasis on interdisciplinary activities (cross-pollination)."
Dr. Watson is an assistant professor in the department of Behavioral Sciences.
Branham is an assistant professor of Government.
Dr. Gaikwad is the chair of the Biology and Chemistry department.
Dr. Martin is an assistant professor in Undergraduate Education.
Deans, department chairpersons, and the University Faculty Assembly choose the recipients of the awards. Each honoree receives a cash award and in recent years, a medallion.
