Graduate School

Outstanding teaching assistants graphicEach year, the Graduate School recognizes teaching assistants who have made distinguished contributions to Syracuse University by demonstrating excellence as primary instructors, laboratory or studio leaders, discussion or recitation section instructors, or lecture course assistants. These teaching assistants are nominated by their departments and evaluated by a selection committee composed of University faculty.

Selection for the award is based on the strength of the nominee’s teaching portfolio, as well as letters of support from faculty and students. On average, the selection committee recognizes the top 4 percent of all TAs campuswide.
