Nominate a colleague for the FACET Class of 2002

By Peggy Wilkes

Having grown to more than 320 members since 1989, the FACET initiative is designed to recognize and support teaching excellence throughout the university and to encourage outstanding teaching. Members, who serve as catalysts for students and faculty, are creative in course preparation and presentation, and demonstrate skill in integrating instruction, research and scholarship.

New members will be inducted at the annual FACET retreat in May at the Fourwinds Resort near Bloomington.

At the retreat, new inductees will participate in workshops and discussions with other FACET members and higher education leaders. They will address collegiate teaching challenges, and develop and share strategies that enhance pedagogy and practice. During the academic year, FACET faculty will be invited to workshops and symposia related to teaching and learning enhancement.

Anyone can nominate a colleague, although candidates may not self-nominate. Candidates can be tenured, tenure-track, clinical faculty, full-time lecturers or librarians.
