Faculty Lectureship Award

See below to view list of previous awardees and their lecture.

The nomination deadline for 2023-24 academic year is December 8, 2023.

The Faculty Lectureship, one of the oldest and most prestigious of the University’s awards, recognizes sustained professional excellence in teaching, scholarly achievement, and service among current faculty at NDSU. The Faculty Lectureship is conferred on an individual who has demonstrated excellence in all three areas.

To nominate a faculty member for this award, submit a nomination letter (of no more than two pages) addressing the criteria, and three-page CV by email to NDSU Provost.

Following the committee’s examination of the cover letter and vitae, the committee may request additional materials such as teaching evaluations or other specific evidence of excellence.
