- Contributed to academic excellence at Utah Tech through knowledge in their area of expertise
- Exceptional teaching ability
- Extraordinary dedication to the educational pursuits of students
- Provided service and inspiration outside of the classroom.
Teachers of the Year are nominated by the campus community at large, then all nominees are contacted and asked to answer questions specific to this category. These materials are reviewed and narrowed to a field of finalists by a preliminary screening committee. The finalists are then passed to the Vice President of Academics who narrows the finalists to five in each group, assembles a committee to review all submitted materials of the finalists, and then the committee selects the winners.
Note: Please include specific details of why this person is being nominated – the committees use this information in their selection process.
