Despite the university's suspension of course evaluations for this spring, students can still nominate outstanding professors for future teaching awards. Many of our faculty have truly extended themselves this spring to help students learn remotely. Please consider nominating one or more deserving faculty members!

Recognize Brandeis faculty who have made a difference in your lives!

Students are invited to nominate outstanding professors for teaching awards by completing a brief electronic nomination form found here:
https://www.brandeis.edu/arts-sciences/faculty/teaching-awards/teacher-nomination.html

- Louis Dembitz Brandeis Prize for Excellence in Teaching ($2,500 prize)

- Jeanette Lerman-Neubauer ’69 and Joseph Neubauer Prize for Excellence in Teaching and Mentoring ($5,000 prize)

- Michael L. Walzer ’56 Award for Teaching ($2,500 prize)

Prior recipients of an award are not eligible to receive the same award twice. 2020 Teaching Award recipients will be announced to all in May.

Teaching Awards Nominations Nominations for these award can only be made via this form. Comments on course evaluation forms are not considered to be nominations, although course evaluation comments are carefully read by the selection committee.
