The University of Nebraska–Lincoln’s School of Biological Sciences has received the University of Nebraska’s top honor for excellence in teaching.
Announced April 12, the University-wide Departmental Teaching Award is one of the University of Nebraska President’s Excellence Awards. Since 1993, the honor has recognized university departments and units that make unique and significant contributions to the NU system’s teaching efforts. Each winner has demonstrated an outstanding commitment to the education of students at undergraduate, graduate and professional levels.
Honored departments are selected by a committee of faculty members from across the university system. The award includes a $25,000 prize to be used as the department sees fit, for example for travel to a conference, instructional equipment or improvements to classroom space.
The School of Biological Sciences will be honored at the Aug. 17 Board of Regents meeting.
