Call for Nominations for the Distinguished Teaching Award (DTA) for
Graduate Students 2023


Started in 2014, the Distinguished Teaching Award (DTA) is a highly
competitive award granted by Graduate Division that recognizes exceptional
teaching demonstrated by a graduate student as a Teaching Assistant or
Associate-In during Spring 2022, Fall 2022, or Winter 2023. While
Outstanding Teaching Assistant (OTA) Awards are determined by the department
and have as many as 100 winners across campus, *only two* Distinguished
Teaching Awards are given annually. Awardees are selected by a committee
appointed by Graduate Division based on the strength of nomination letters
and the nominee’s student teaching evaluations during the award
period. DTA recipients
are recognized with an award and receive a monetary prize.


The UCR Graduate Division invites nominations from faculty, graduate peers,
and undergraduate students wanting to honor a graduate student teacher who
demonstrated effective, impactful, or innovative approaches to teaching in
the classroom over the past year. *Please visit our website for more
information and the link to submit nominations:*
