These awards are determined by three CET faculty committees and one CET staff committee. The full-time faculty nominee must have been employed at UVU for at least three (3) consecutive academic years. For the Faculty Teaching Excellence Award, the nominee must be teaching at least 50% load for CET departments.
The Faculty Teaching Excellence award is based primarily upon student evaluations.
