Jessica Melton Perry Award for Distinguished Teaching in Disciplinary & Professional Writing
This award recognizes teaching that has contributed to the development of student writing within academic and professional fields across the university (other than English). Nominees can be tenure-track or non-tenure track regular faculty employed at any school or college of CWRU.
This award is designed to recognize instructors who have helped their students publish academic/scholarly work, instructors/mentors of graduate/professional students, and/or instructors of SAGES Departmental Seminars, UGER Disciplinary Seminars, and Senior Capstones (where discipline-specific writing is taught).
AIQS Innovative Teaching Award
This award is given annually to a faculty member teaching one or more Academic Inquiry Seminars. The award will recognize instructors who use innovative approaches, ideas, and/or methods in the teaching of writing for the purpose of enhancing the experience of first-year writers at CWRU. Faculty members are invited to apply for or nominate other teachers for this award. Awardees receive a cash prize and an invitation to facilitate a faculty workshop on their particular innovative teaching to share with fellow instructors.
