Directions for Nomination for the Deborah and Franklin Tepper Haimo Award for Distinguished College or University Teaching of Mathematics

Anyone may nominate an eligible college or university teacher (see Eligibility and Guidelines for Nomination) (This file is in PDF Format).

The usual way to nominate a person for the Haimo Award is to first nominate a them for an MAA Section Teaching Award. Although there is a template of directions for this process of nomination for a Section Teaching Award, individual Sections may have special rules or different deadlines than those suggested in the template. It is best to check with the secretary of the MAA Section of which the nominee is a member, and to also check that Section's web site for details. Once a Section winner of the MAA Teaching Award has been selected, the full nomination packet for the winner should be sent to the National Secretary of the MAA, so as to arrive by March 1.

In addition to considering each Section's Teaching Award winner, the Committee will consider other nominations (by individuals or Sections) received in the current year by the deadline of March 1.  Such nominations can be past Section Teaching Award winners, or teachers who have not won a Section Teaching Award. 

For all nominations, the directions on the Nomination form should be followed carefully (This file is in PDF Format but can be filled in electronically). The full nomination packet is to be accompanied by a cover letter from the nominator indicating whether this is a Section nomination of a current Section Teaching Award winner or a different nomination.  These must be received by the National Secretary of the MAA by March 1. 

Up to three Haimo Awards are given each year.  The Haimo Awards will include at least one nominee who is a current Section Teaching Award winner.  At most one nominee who is not a current or past Section Award winner may receive the Haimo Award in a given year.
