Teaching Award

Harpur College Teaching Award

Since 2016, Harpur College students and faculty have been invited to nominate Harpur instructors whose classes they found especially meaningful, challenging, stimulating, enjoyable, and fulfilling so that they can be recognized by the college. All Harpur students and faculty are invited to submit only one nomination for an exemplary instructor that they wish to honor.

These nominations will be reviewed by the Dean's office team. Tenure-track and non-tenure-track faculty may be nominated. The selected instructor will be recognized with an award at the Harpur College Faculty Recognition Ceremony, to be held in May 2025.

Please submit this form by April 15th. Questions about the Harpur College Teaching Award may be sent to harpuredge@binghamton.edu.
