Nominations are now being accepted for the eighth annual Oaks Academic Technology Award, which recognizes an instructor’s innovative application of technology to transform teaching and learning in their classroom.
The Oaks Award was established in honor of the visionary leadership of Dr. Muriel Oaks, WSU Dean Emeritus. Scott Wallace, an associate professor in the computer science department at WSU Vancouver, was awarded the 2023 Oaks Academic Technology Award in recognition of his innovative work using Autolab software to provide formative feedback to his students.
Instructors on any WSU campus wishing to be considered for the Oaks Award are invited to submit an application. You may also nominate others or encourage deserving colleagues to apply. Nominations will be accepted until March 20 at 11:59 p.m. The winner will receive $3,000 in faculty development funds, distributed to the award winner’s academic department.
