Each year, all members of the University community are invited to a special ceremony and reception to honor the recipients of the Morse-Alumni Award for Undergraduate Education and the University's Graduate-Professional Teaching Award. This occasion recognizes the significance of excellent teaching by inducting the faculty members into the Academy of Distinguished Teachers. Academy members provide important leadership to the University community, serving as mentors, advisers, and spokespersons for the University's mission.

Join us for this annual event honoring the University's best teaching professors for their contributions to undergraduate, graduate, and professional education. The event includes comments from recipients, presentations of the awards, and a post-event reception.

The Distinguished Teaching Awards are sponsored by the Senate Committee on Educational Policy, the Office of the Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost, and the University of Minnesota Alumni Association.  For more information on the Academy of Distinguished Teachers click here.
