Provost Teaching Awards
Recognizing teaching excellence
The Provost Teaching Awards recognize teaching excellence and a commitment to fostering an educational environment in which all students succeed. Awardees will have demonstrated evidence of advancing student success through teaching activities, particularly in ways that advance the ASU charter.
Each year, two awards will be granted to honor a tenure-track faculty member and a career-track faculty member.
