Events
Teacher of the Year Award
Each spring, members of Hofstra’s current academic graduating classes help select the faculty members from each school and college who will receive the annual Teacher of the Year awards. The faculty members selected receive a cash award and an engraved plaque citing reasons given by students in support of their nomination.
From 1960 through 2002, Hofstra awarded a single “Distinguished Teacher of the Year Award” annually. In recognition of our many excellent faculty and the fact that excellence in teaching is our highest priority, we initiated individual School/College Teacher of the Year awards beginning with the 2002-03 academic year.
In March, graduating students are invited to vote online for the faculty they feel are most deserving of recognition as distinguished teachers. Only full-time faculty members during the year of graduation who have not previously received a School/College Teacher of the Year award are eligible.
