IMPORTANT: Visit http://www.cte.umd.edu/programs/faculty/lilly/teachingaward for information on the 2007-2008 award.

Awards (a maximum of $5,000) are given for Departmental Excellence and Innovation in Undergraduate Teaching. The Office of the Dean for Undergraduate Studies sponsors the award, which is to be used to improve undergraduate education. Any campus department, program, or interdepartmental program can apply for the award. The awards seek to recognize notable improvements in undergraduate education at the department, program, or university level. Submissions should highlight a current activity, which has made important contributions to a significant educational issue in the past two to three years. This could be a new approach to a problem, or a significant advance in an ongoing activity. In line with the award’s purpose, the emphasis should describe how the combined efforts of the unit (not the work of an individual) accomplished the significant result.
