Someone on this list might want to honor an outstanding
postsecondary teacher by making a nomination for the U. S.
Professor of the Year award sponsored by the Carnegie Foundation
for the Advancement of Teaching.
In this program a national outstanding professor is selected from
each of four types of postsecondary institutions:
Research and Doctoral Universities
Master's Universities and Colleges
Baccalaureate Institutions
Community Colleges
In addition to the National Professor of the Year, Carnegie
intends to name a State Professor of the Year in all 50 states
and the District of Columbia. The four National Winners will each
receive a cash award of $5,000, plus travel to the awards
ceremony and media events in Washington, DC.
The 1995-96 National U. S. Professors of the year are:
Mark Taylor, Williams College
Diane Keenan, Cerritos College
Michael Flachmann, California State University, Bakersville
Howard Goldberg, University of Illinois, Chicago
The program is administered for Carnegie by the Council for
Advancement and Support of Education (CASE), which will supply
entry information necessary to make a nomination upon request to
Ms. Kim Hughes, at 202 387-4973 (fax), or at e-mail

with undergraduate students; and support from colleagues and
current and former undergraduate students. DEADLINE: June 4, 1996.

will learn of and nominate deserving teachers of undergraduate
students.
