Deborah and Franklin Tepper Haimo Award for Distinguished College or University Teaching of Mathematics
In 1991 the Mathematical Association of America instituted Awards for Distinguished College or University Teaching of Mathematics in order to honor college or university teachers who have been widely recognized as extraordinarily successful and whose teaching effectiveness has been shown to have had influence beyond their own institutions. In 1993 the MAA Board of Governors renamed the award to honor Deborah and Franklin Tepper Haimo.
Anyone may nominate an eligible college or university teacher for a Deborah and Franklin Tepper Haimo Award for Distinguished College or University Teaching of Mathematics (see Eligibility and Guidelines for Nomination). The usual way to nominate a person for the Haimo Award is to first nominate them for an MAA Section Award for Distinguished Teaching. 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 website for details.
For all nominations, the directions on the Nomination form should be followed carefully. The full nomination packet is to be accompanied by a cover letter indicating whether this is a Section nominee or a different nomination. These must be received by the MAA Secretary [email protected] by August 1 of each year. The Secretary verifies the completeness of each nomination packet and forwards all packets to the Committee on Deborah and Franklin Tepper Haimo Awards.
Up to three Haimo Awards are given each year. At least one of the Award recipients must be a current Section nominee, and at most one of the Award recipients may be other than a current or past recipient of a Section Award for Distinguished Teaching. All recipients must be members of the Association (teaching in the U.S. or Canada).
An individual may win the Haimo award at most once. Recipients of the Haimo Award receive $1,000, partial support for travel to MAA MathFest, and a certificate of recognition.
