New teaching award recognizes excellence in use of academic technology

Academic Outreach & Innovation (AOI) has established the Oaks Award, in honor of the visionary leadership of Dr. Muriel Oaks, WSU Dean Emeritus. The award will recognize a faculty member’s innovative application of an existing technology to transform teaching and learning in their classroom (face-to-face, online, videoconferencing).

Faculty on any WSU campus may nominate themselves or other faculty members for the Oaks Award or encourage deserving colleagues to apply. Nominations will be accepted until March 24, and the winner will be notified in mid-April.  The award winner will receive $3,000 in faculty development funds, which will be distributed to the award winner’s academic department.

Dr. Oaks will present the award at the Global Campus graduation reception in Pullman, on Friday, May 5.
