Pickens-Queen Teacher Award
Through a gift from Glenn and Carol Queen and Ethel Pickens, an award was established to recognize the importance placed on teaching at Marshall University and to provide encouragement and incentive for teaching achievement by newer faculty members. The awards, which include a cash award of $1,000 each, are presented to three junior faculty members at the Spring General Faculty meeting.
All faculty members engaged in teaching on a full-time, tenured or tenure track appointment at the current rank of Instructor or Assistant Professor who have completed 1 to 5 years of service at Marshall University are eligible; i.e., a person is first eligible to apply in the 2nd year and may last apply in the 6th year.
Please Note: In any given year a faculty member can be considered for only one teaching award (e.g. Hedrick, Pickens Queen, Reynolds). If nominated and eligible for more than one award, the nominee will be asked to choose one teaching award for consideration.
In addition, a faculty member can win any given teaching award only once in his or her service at Marshall University.
Self-nominations will not be accepted. Faculty, staff or students may make a nomination by submitting the online form below.
Submission Materials
Candidates who accept the nomination will submit documentation of their achievements in October 2012. Required documents include:
In addition, course evaluation summary sheets for up to three years prior will be solicited directly from Institutional Research.
Evaluation Process
Selection of three junior-level faculty members to receive the Pickens Queen Teaching Award is a two-level process.
