IC Flame Award for Teaching Excellence

Selection criteria | Nomination form | Recipients

The Flame Award for Teaching Excellence is given to exceptional UIC educators who have made a lasting impression on their students’ lives and inspired students by “lighting the flame” of desire for intellectual growth and lifelong learning. Since nominations are submitted by alumni and sponsored by the UIC Alumni Advisory Board, this award is unique among faculty awards at UIC. The recipients receive an award and a monetary stipend of $1,000.

Candidates may be current or retired UIC faculty members teaching at the graduate or undergraduate level and must be nominated by University of Illinois at Chicago alumni. Individuals may be nominated multiple times but can only receive the award once.

The deadline for the 2008 nominations for this award has passed.
