The Great Teacher Award was established in 1970 by the SIUE Alumni Association. Each year, an SIUE faculty member is recognized for their continuous excellence in teaching. Each recipient receives a $1,000 award and a commemorative plaque. In addition, each recipient’s name is engraved on the Great Teacher Award plaque displayed at Birger Hall. The award is presented during the August commencement and the recipient is recognized at a special luncheon hosted by the Alumni Association.
The Great Teacher Award is open to current and retired SIUE faculty who meet the criteria stated below. The award can also be presented posthumously. No faculty member may receive this award more than once. Please review the list of past award recipients before submitting a nomination.
