ALANA COLLOS TEACHING AWARD

This award was established in 1988 to honor the memory of Alana Collos, a creative and dedicated teacher at Community College of Philadelphia who helped to establish the Teaching Center.

Each year, the Teaching Center Advisory Board selects a faculty member whose teaching is outstanding and in harmony with the values Alana Collos brought to her work. This faculty member:

• Demonstrates an interested, optimistic attitude toward students in both formal and informal teaching situations;
• Designs imaginative assignments, learning activities, and/or supplemental materials to engage students deeply in their learning;
• Reminds colleagues of the value of their work and encourages them to reach their full potential as teachers.

To nominate a colleague, submit two letters that specify how the nominee possesses at least two of the three qualities that were the hallmark of work of Alana Collos. All part-time and full-time faculty are eligible for this award, which comes with a $500 stipend.

The Alana Collos Teaching Award recipient will be honored formally at the College Honors Tea in May and have her/his name engraved on a plaque displayed in the Teaching Center.

Letters of nomination should be sent to the Teaching Center Advisory Board c/o the Teaching Center, M1-20.
