SU Award for Leadership in Undergraduate Teaching (SALUTE)

SALUTE was developed in 1997 by Students’ Council to promote and encourage excellence in teaching by recognizing faculty members who make outstanding contributions in their roles as undergraduate instructors at the University of Alberta.

Students may nominate professors for SALUTE based upon criteria that students consider essential in an excellent teacher. The winners are then selected from a pool of nominees by a panel of students on the Awards Adjudication Committee.

The Students' Union believes that students are the best judges of teaching excellence, as only students can truly know how much they have learned from a teacher, and only students know how that teacher has inspired and encouraged them to learn on their own.

If you would like to nominate an outstanding instructor, complete the SALUTE Nomination Form. You may also use the provided Student Signature Sheet for collecting signatures.
