Distinguished Teaching Award

The distinguished teaching award has been presented annually since 1961 to two outstanding Rider instructors in recognition of teaching excellence.  Nominated by their colleagues and students and judged by the University Honors Council, the two faculty members are recognized as being among Rider’s most talented, effective and dedicated teachers.
