IUPUC has announced that nominations are now being accepted for the 2020 Edna V. Folger Outstanding Teacher Award. The deadline for nominations is 4 p.m. on Friday, January 24, 2020.

Organizers say this annual award is designed to raise awareness about the influence educators have on their students, as well as recognize the image of educators as important community role models.

This includes classroom, special education, certified educators, counselors and administrators.

Any individual or group may nominate a classroom teacher or educator to receive this award. Nominations should include biographical information, reasons for nomination, letters of recommendation and support materials. The award, sponsored by Faurecia Clean Mobility, the Community Education Coalition and the IUPUC Center for Teaching and Learning, will be presented at the Columbus Area Chamber of Commerce Annual Meeting.
