227-39 Appendix IV TEACHING FELLOW AWARD: ALUMNI ASSOCIATION AND STUDENT AWARD RECOGNIZING TEACHING EXCELLENCE 1. NAME: The name of this award shall be the "Teaching Fellow Award: Alumni Association and Student Award Recognizing Teaching Excellence." 2. PURPOSE: This award was established in 1988 through the joint efforts of the Alumni Association, the Undergraduate Student Government, and the Graduate Student Association, to honor and recognize distinguished teaching while providing encouragement and incentive for teaching excellence at The Pennsylvania State University. This Award was traditionally presented exclusively to faculty at the University Park Campus. In 1997, the Alumni Association revised the guidelines to recognize two recipients, with the requirement that at least one be from a Penn State campus other than University Park. In 2006, the Alumni Association again revised the guidelines. This revision was caused by 1) financial pressure stemming from the rapidly increasing costs of sustaining the program beyond what the endowment could provide and 2) a desire to extend the benefits to more faculty members while enhancing undergraduate education more broadly in the recipients home academic departments. Henceforth, the Teaching Fellow Award will go to three recipients each year, with the stipulation that at least one of the three be from a campus other than University Park. 3. AMOUNT OF FUND: In 1988, the initial principal of this fund, $250,000, was pledged over a five (5) year period for the above-stated purpose by the Penn State Alumni Association. In 1998, the Alumni Association pledged an additional $500,000 to this endowment. Additional contributions may be made by interested persons or organizations. 4. ELIGIBILITY: Consideration for this award shall be given to all full-time tenured faculty with a minimum of three (3) years of teaching experience at the University. Evaluations shall be based upon excellence and lasting impact in areas such as general teaching ability, scholarship, academic advising and career guidance, enthusiasm and commitment to undergraduate education. 5. SELECTION PROCEDURE: Beginning in the 2006-07 academic year, three recipients shall be selected annually, with at least one of the three being from a campus other than University Park. Recipients shall be selected by a special committee, chosen by the Executive Director of the Alumni Association, and composed of three alumni volunteers; three students, at least one of whom represents a campus other than University Park; three faculty members, at least one of whom represents a campus other than University Park, and one administrative representative of the Penn State Alumni Association.

Nominations shall be accepted each fall from students, faculty, administrators, staff, parents, alumni and friends of Penn State.

Expenditures shall be made exclusively from the endowment. Any income not awarded during a particular year may be used to pay for the other costs intended to operate the program. Any remaining income shall then be added to the principal. Besides the monetary award, each recipient shall also receive a plaque commemorating his or her selection as a Teaching Fellow.
