CITL Teaching Honors

In the Spring 2019 semester, CITL began to solicit student nominations for its Teaching Honors. We asked students to identify members of the WKU faculty who, in their experience, have proven to be effective, thoughtful, and innovative pedagogues. Although this is but one measure of the tremendous teaching that happens on WKU’s campus, we wanted to recognize faculty in a concrete and public way for the difference they make in our students’ lives. Thus far, students have responded enthusiastically to our call for nominations and are eager to testify to the many excellent teachers on our campuses. Since it’s inception in Spring 2019, we have received 2358 nominations from almost 2000 unique nominators!

Once a faculty member has been nominated, they are automatically considered to become one of five CITL Teaching Honor recipients. There are no additional materials they need to submit; CITL makes the final selection based on the strength of the student nominations. We are also careful to consider nominations from all the semesters.
