Teaching Recognition Program Announcement

The Council for Excellence in Teaching and Learning and the Office of the Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs are pleased to announce the 2012-2013 Teaching Recognition Program (TRP). The TRP is UIC’s self-nominated, faculty-administered teaching award program.  To date, the TRP has recognized the outstanding instructional performance of 383 UIC faculty.

The TRP offers a $1500 permanent increment to the annual base salary of faculty who have documented their teaching excellence over the past three academic years. This year, we will be recognizing the accomplishments of up to 20 deserving faculty members.

All tenured and tenure-track faculty, clinical faculty, and others with a demonstrated long-term commitment to teaching at UIC (such as lecturers, instructors and adjuncts) are eligible to apply. All applicants must hold a teaching appointment that is greater than 49 percent. A demonstrated long-term commitment is defined as continuous involvement in teaching at UIC during the Fall and Spring semesters of the previous three years (2009-2010, 2010-2011 and 2011-2012). Please refer to the program guidelines for a complete listing of eligibility requirements.

The deadline for receipt of applications is 4:30 P.M. Friday, November 2, 2012. Please refer to the program guidelines for important information regarding the content and submission of applications. We strongly recommend that interested faculty carefully review these guidelines before submitting applications.

We hope that all eligible faculty will take advantage of this opportunity. If you have any questions about this program or require more information, please contact Kathy Lesinski at (312) 996-2706 or via email at lesinski@uic.edu.

Sincerely,
Renee Taylor
Interim Vice Provost for Faculty Affairs
