2023 Outstanding Teaching Awards
Each year the university wishes to recognize our faculty and teaching assistants whose commitment to the furtherance of learning and leadership of our students goes above and beyond.
Recipients were selected via nomination and reviewed by a selection committee based in the UK Provost’s Office for Faculty Advancement and the Center for the Enhancement of Learning and Teaching.
Each winner received an award certificate, a commemorative engraved gift and a cash award in recognition of their teaching excellence.
This year the university has selected the ten following members of our faculty and teaching assistants.
