The Milton S. Eisenhower Award for Distinguished Teaching, established in 1992, is generally awarded to two faculty who, in addition to being outstanding teachers themselves, have also provided some kind of support or mentoring to others.

Qualifications

To be considered for the Eisenhower Award, nominees must be tenured members, employed as a full-time faculty member for a minimum of five years, and have undergraduate teaching as a major portion of her or his assignment. Members of a research staff, administrators, and those who are predominately teachers of graduate students are not eligible for these awards.

Nominations may be submitted by students, faculty, administrators, staff, and friends of Penn State by a web nomination form. Nominations will be accepted throughout the year with a due date of Friday, September 21, 2007 to be considered for the 2008 awards. If you have any questions, please send an email to SchreyerAdmin@psu.edu or phone 814-865-8681.

Preliminary screening is done by department or campus representatives and approved by the dean or campus executive officer. Final selection for all three awards is made by University Committees that may include faculty, students, administrators, and alumni.
