Exemplary Educator Award

The Exemplary Educator Award, established in 2022 by the Academy of Educators, recognizes a faculty member who is actively building a legacy as an educator through contributions in one or more domains of education and mentorship.

Academic appointments held prior to joining Washington University may be included. Nominations may be submitted by faculty, course leaders, program directors, and department leaders.  Nominations should include a brief statement summarizing the nominee’s qualifications, one letter of recommendation at the time of submission (nominator may serve as letter writer) and one additional name of faculty able to submit letters of recommendation in support of the nominee.
