Finch Award
The William Carrington Finch Award is made to a full-time faculty member for conspicuous accomplishments in furthering the aims of Southwestern University. A plaque and a cash award of $5000 will be made normally on alternate years as an appropriate recipient is identified. The criteria include: involvement in a teaching field interpreted to include the creative and performing arts; research for either publication or teaching that is broad enough to guarantee familiarity with the continuing growth within a field; excellence in teaching; contribution to the governance of the University; and contributions outside of the classroom. Nominations are sought from the members of the campus community.
SU Teaching Awards
These teaching awards are based on nominations from students. The call for nominations goes out in January and is usually closed in early March. Nominations are reviewed by the Honorary Degree Committee, and a subset of the nominees are invited to submit teaching materials. Two awards are given each year - one for a tenured member of the faculty and another to an untenured member of the faculty.
