The Center for Innovative Teaching and Learning is now accepting nominations for Outstanding Graduate Teaching Assistant Awards for 2023. You can find the details and submission guidelines at go.niu.edu/outstanding-ta-award.

Each academic or academic support unit that employs graduate TAs for teaching and related activities is invited to nominate two (2) outstanding Graduate Teaching Assistants, one at the master’s level and the other at the doctoral level, from its department/school for the awards.

Nominations can be submitted by the department chair/school director or designee. Nominators must complete the nomination form (Word doc) for each nominee, although you may also provide additional supporting documents.  We encourage nominations to be as descriptive as possible in supporting the nominee, and to include additional evidence such as student testimonials, course evaluations, or samples of teaching materials. 

Email the entire nomination, including any supporting documents, by Friday, November 3, 2023, to citl@niu.edu with the subject line “Nomination for 2023-2024 Outstanding TA Awards”.
