Oaks Award nominations close on March 18

Nominations are still being accepted for the third annual Oaks Academic Technology Award, which recognizes a faculty member’s innovative application of an existing technology to transform teaching and learning in their classroom (face-to-face, online, videoconferencing).

Academic Outreach & Innovation (AOI) established the Oaks Award in 2017 in honor of the visionary leadership of Dr. Muriel Oaks, WSU Dean Emeritus. Chris Cooney, clinical assistant professor in the Edward R. Murrow College of Communication, was selected the winner of the 2018 Oaks Award.

Faculty on any WSU campus wishing to be considered for the Oaks Award are invited to submit an application. You may nominate others or encourage deserving colleagues to apply.  Nominations will be accepted until March 18, and the winner will be notified April 1. The winner will receive $3,000 in faculty development funds, distributed to the award winner’s academic department.

To apply or learn more about the award and to access the application and evaluation metric, visit the AOI Teaching Awards webpage.
