The School of Medicine is seeking nominations for the University’s 2014 Elmer F. Pierson Good Teaching Award.
The UMKC Alumni Association annually presents the award to an outstanding faculty member from the schools of Business and Public Administration, Dentistry, Law and Medicine. The award reflects the University’s philosophy that its reputation and the success of its students depends on the quality of its faculty and that meaningful recognition of faculty excellence encourages superior teaching and research.
School of Medicine faculty nominations should be forwarded by email to the Office of the Dean at davismel@umkc.edu or troutwinea@umkc.edu no later than Thursday, Nov. 13. Nominations must include a current CV, letter of nomination, letters of support, teaching evaluations and other supporting materials.
Following a School of Medicine committee review of the nominees, the name of one faculty member will be submitted to the Dean, who will approve and forward the nomination to the Office of the Provost.
The award is named for Elmer F. Pierson, a former UMKC law professor and Kansas City businessman.
