- Meredith Teaching Recognition Award

Selection Process:

A Meredith Professorship may be awarded to any tenured faculty member at Syracuse University. Each recipient will be designated Laura J. and L. Douglas Meredith Professor for a period of three years. There will normally be six active Meredith Professors, with approximately two appointed each year.
Each nominee will identify an investigation of some aspect of teaching or learning that he or she intends to pursue during the term of the appointment. This investigation could variously be described in such terms as the scholarship of teaching, classroom research, outcomes assessment, or curriculum development. Collaborating with colleagues or mentoring junior colleagues, or other forms of reaching out to include other interested members of the faculty are especially encouraged.
Eligible faculty members will be nominated for a Meredith Professorship by the dean of the school or college in which they have their principal appointment.
Nominations are reviewed by a committee appointed by the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs and composed of senior faculty members and administrators, and a student representative. On the basis of a review of the teaching portfolio submitted by each nominee, the committee submits its recommendations to the Chancellor who makes the appointments.

The Meredith Professors are enrolled for life in the Meredith Symposium as a signal honor and to provide a permanent forum for the discussion of teaching.
