Excellence in Teaching Award

Each year the Teaching Award Subcommittee of the Penn State York Campus Senate seeks nominations of faculty for the James H. Burness Award for Excellence in Teaching.

This award is given annually to recognize any aspect of excellent instruction (lectures, demonstrations, classroom activities, handling of discussions, individual attention, laboratory instruction, etc.) that contributes to the academic quality of the Penn State York campus. The purpose of the award is not to identify the most popular faculty member but, rather, to recognize excellence in instruction.

All faculty are eligible to be nominated except for recipients of the award in the past four years: Orsay Kucukemiroglu and Eugene Ellis (2017), Jessica Petko and James Miller (2018), Janet McNally (2019), and Sonia Molloy and Lou Paioletti (2020).

Two awards will be given: one to a full-time faculty member and one to a part-time faculty member. Do not worry if you are unsure whether a faculty member is full-time or part-time – the Teaching Award Committee will divide the nominations accordingly.

Spring nominations for the 2020–21 James H. Burness Award for Excellence in Teaching will be accepted starting February 22, 2021.

Nominations should be submitted by 11:59 p.m. on Friday, March 5, 2021.
