Divisional Teaching Excellence Awards

To recognise and reward teaching excellence at Waikato, the University gives staff and students the opportunity to nominate people who they think deserve consideration for a teaching award.

Overview

Nominations may be made at any time during the year, but will be processed for selection purposes in early July the following year. Nominations made after this will be included in the next annual selection cycle.

Annually, up to six recipients will be conferred from within each Division, and, two from FMIS.  Each Division, and, FMIS will fund its own DTEA internally.

Later in the year, DTEA recipients may be selected by their respective PVC or Dean to go forward for the University Staff Awards, with a monetary value of up to $3000 for an individual, or up to $10,000 for a team.
