Seeking Nominations for Section Early Career Teaching Award

In 2015, the Rocky Mountain Section of the MAA approved a teaching award for faculty early in their career. The award was inspired by the Henry Adler Award, which has been active at the national level since 2004. We hope to use this section program as an opportunity for recognition for faculty members that are early in their career and this program makes a wonderful companion to the section Distinguished Teaching Award. To be eligible the candidate must:

  • Hold a doctorate degree
  • Be college or university teachers who have held a full-time faculty appointment in a college department of mathematical sciences in the Rocky Mountain Section for at least two, but not more than seven, years since receiving the doctorate. A nominee who has just started the eighth year of teaching at the time of the application is still eligible for the award. If a nominee has held his or her doctorate for more than seven years then the nominator must indicate on the nomination form the times that the nominee was not teaching. Common exceptions to the 7-year limit are maternity, paternity, family, or medical leaves. Sabbaticals and postdoctoral fellowships are exceptions only if they involved no teaching and the application does not include accomplishments made during these times.
  • Hold membership in the Mathematical Association of America
Nominees should be recognized for excellence in teaching at the undergraduate level and have a demonstrated influence outside their own classrooms. The award includes a small cash prize and a plaque, plus the person will also be recognized at the next section meeting. This is an excellent opportunity for you to get recognition for the excellent teachers in your department and also for the mathematics community to recognize the teaching contributions people can make early in their career.

Guidelines and Nomination Form

If you would like to nominate a colleague, please begin by reviewing the complete nomination guidelines.

A nomination form is available online as an editable document in MSWord, odt , or PDF format. It can be downloaded, edited and emailed; or it can be printed and filled in manually, and the paper document sent by ground mail. The form should be addressed to the Section Awards Coordinator.
 
A form can also be obtained from the current Section Newsletter, or from Department Chairs and MAA Departmental Liaisons, or from the Section Secretary.
 
For an award the at the spring Section Meeting, the nomination form should reach the Section Awards Coordinator by 15 December of the previous year. After filing the nomination form, the nominator has until 15 January to submit a complete nomination packet.
