Distinguished Teaching Awards

Academic Senate Recipients

Each year the UCLA Alumni Association presents Distinguished Teaching Awards to five Academic Senate faculty members. The highly prized awards are presented at the annual UCLA Alumni Association Awards Ceremony, and selection of recipients is based on recommendations of the Academic Senate Committee on Teaching. Nominations are solicited from academic departments during Fall Quarter.

The Luckman Distinguished Teaching Awards Program was established in late 1991 after receipt of a generous gift from Harriet and Charles Luckman. Awards given for 1992 through 1997 are to be named the Luckman Distinguished Teaching Awards.

Non-Academic Senate Recipients

In spring of 1985, the Office of Instructional Development began sponsorship of awards to three instructors who are not members of the Academic Senate. This category includes lecturers and adjunct and clinical faculty members. All non-Academic Senate faculty members who are nominated by their departments are eligible. Recipients are selected by the Academic Senate Committee on Teaching, utilizing the same criteria as that used for Academic Senate members.

The Luckman Distinguished Teaching Awards Program was established in late 1991 after receipt of a generous gift from Harriet and Charles Luckman. Awards given for 1992 through 1997 are to be named the Luckman Distinguished Teaching Awards.
