Awards

2024 Presidential Awards of Excellence

Office of the President, Utah Valley University - April 11, 2024

The Presidential Award of Excellence recognizes faculty and staff members with exemplary achievements in advancing Utah Valley University's mission, core values, and daily operations.

OLC Accelerate 2021 Best-in-Track Award

Online Learning Consortium

Award received for presenting on Enabling Students' Daily Choice of How to Attend Class - this research showed how allowing students flexibility in how they participated in a live class impacted their ability to learn in positive ways. This was recognized as the best presentation of the Accelerate Track it was part of.

Alan E. Hall Innovation Award

Utah System of Higher Education - April 15, 2015

In July 2013, UVU piloted a four-week transition program for admitted, low-income, first-time students who tested into developmental math. Students enrolled in an online, self-paced math refresher and a credit-bearing student success course. Participants took Accuplacer before and after the four-week program to see if they could test into a higher math course, eliminating some remedial coursework. In 2014, the program added an English 0990 component, which familiarized students with navigating the processes involved in writing for university-level work. Students successfully completing the course registered for English 1010 during fall semester, again, eliminating remedial coursework.

Outstanding Teaching Award - Live Interactive

UVU Distance Education

Award given to professors teaching Live Intercative Classes which recognizes their work in helping students from around the state.

Dean's Faculty Scholarship Award

University College Dean's Office - April, 2013

Darren Wiberg and Jon Anderson created and disseminated a new method for factoring polynomials known as Synthetic Factoring, presenting at numerous places and publishing it as part of the Michael E. Sullivan Algebra Text Books.
