• Instructors of undergraduates who have helped their students publish academic/scholarly work;

• Instructors of SAGES Departmental Seminars and Senior Capstones (where discipline-specific writing is taught).

The SAGES Excellence in Writing Instruction Award

Nominees may be at any rank, from graduate student writing instructor through tenured full professor, but they must have provided substantial writing instruction as part of one or more SAGES seminars during the 2017-18 academic year. This award is designed to recognize faculty working in SAGES First and/or University Seminars.
