Student Scholarships and Faculty Awards 2025
Faculty Awards
Distinguished Teacher of the Year
Since 1969, the Distinguished Teacher of the Year (DTOY) award has been presented annually to one 大象传媒 faculty member, based on their scholarship, research and publications, classroom teaching, academic counseling, and service to the University and community. The award winner is determined by students. The recipient receives a cash award and delivers the keynote address at both the Honors Convocation in the Spring and the Freshman Convocation in the Fall.
Nominations are made by students in January. Each college's Student Advisory Committee selects a finalist from its college, and one DTOY winner is chosen from the nine finalists by the University Student Advisory Committee in the Spring. The selection is based on the finalist's portfolio and in-person interview.

Excellence and Innovation in Teaching and Advising Awards
The deadline for submitting applications and nominations is in early February. College recommendations are made by a screening committee appointed by the college, consisting of one faculty member from each department and at least two students. Finalists are forwarded to the Provost's office by early March. The University Faculty Senate Honors and Awards Committee will make the final selections by March.
The awards recognize excellence in "enhancing undergraduate instruction and advising." Four teaching awards and three advising awards will be given. Each advising award includes a $2,000 stipend, while each teaching award includes a $4,000 stipend.
The awards will be presented at the Honors Convocation ceremony in April.
