Sofia University is one of the first transpersonal universities in California, founded by Robert Frager, PhD, in 1975. We continue to be a leader in transformative education by providing access to rigorous education based on transpersonal teachings and we’re dedicated to bringing our unique perspective to contemporary challenges, giving our students the tools to make a difference in their lives, careers, and communities.
It is the goal of Sofia University to recognize and honor outstanding teachers on an annual basis. The Excellence in Teaching Award Year is one such method. Teachers will be nominated by students and faculty. Nominations will come from each of the two institutes at Sofia University and there will be an award for core faculty and one for adjunct faculty from each of the institutes.
In order to be eligible for the Excellence in Teaching Award candidates must have taught at least one course within the previous year in any of the following quarters: (Spring 2022, Winter 2022, Fall, 2021, Summer 2021).
Faculty who teach courses in more than one Institute (for example in the MBA program and MATP program) will be eligible for nomination in either Institute. Nominations may be made by both students or faculty members. Each person may only nominate one teacher for an award.
Nominations must be submitted by July 15, 2022.
