Henry L. Alder Award for Distinguished
Teaching by a Beginning College or University Mathematics Faculty Member
In January 2003 the MAA established the Henry L.
Alder Award for Distinguished
Teaching by a Beginning College or University Mathematics Faculty
Member
to honor beginning college or university faculty whose teaching has
been
extra ordinarily successful and whose effectiveness in teaching
undergraduate mathematics is shown to have influence beyond their own
classrooms. An awardee must have taught full time in a mathematical
science in the United States or Canada for at least two, but not more
than seven, years since receiving the Ph.D. Each year at most three
college or university teachers are to be honored with this national
award and are to receive $1,000 and a certificate of recognition from
the MAA. Award recipients will be expected to make a presentation at
one of the national meetings of the MAA. Nominations for the award may
be made by any member of the MAA or by any section of the MAA.
