Five Liberty University professors, both residential and online, were announced as this year’s recipients of the President’s Award for Excellence in Teaching.
These awards are celebrated as the university’s most prestigious annual academic award. Their purpose is to recognize teachers who have promoted significant student learning, evidenced by creative and innovative approaches to teaching, the effective use of instructional technology, and exceptional pedagogical skill.
The recipients’ impact on students’ faith, thought, and character fully realizes the vision of Liberty founder Dr. Jerry Falwell to Train Champions for Christ. The award process involves a formal peer nomination, dean support, faculty input, and student contribution. The Center for Teaching Excellence oversees the adjudication and process. Winners from each category are recommended by separate confidential Provost Selection Committees, comprised of select faculty, academic leadership, and past winners, and are affirmed by the Offices of the Provosts for residential and online programs.
