2014 Award for Excellence in Teaching
Each year, UIC honors some of its most dedicated and outstanding teachers with the Award for Excellence in Teaching. The winners, who receive a $5,000 salary increase, are selected by past recipients of the award from nominations made by departments and colleges.
This year’s winners β scholars, researchers and teachers all β work in different fields, but they have this in common: they want their students to graduate with critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
