Our highest campus-level teaching award is the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/provost.missouri.edu\/development\/awards\/kemper\/\">William T. Kemper Fellowship for Teaching Excellence<\/a>. Applications are open now and include input from students and the MU community. Other opportunities include&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/provost.missouri.edu\/development\/awards\/governors\/\">the Governor\u2019s Award of Excellence in Teaching<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/provost.missouri.edu\/development\/awards\/shutz\/\">the Maxine Christopher Shutz Award and Lecture for Distinguished Teaching<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/provost.missouri.edu\/development\/awards\/faculty-teaching\/\">the Provost\u2019s Outstanding Junior Faculty Teaching Award<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Starting this week, faculty also can nominate their colleagues for&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.umsystem.edu\/ums\/aa\/awards\">UM System honors<\/a>&nbsp;for teaching and research, such as Curators\u2019 Distinguished Professorships, the Thomas Jefferson Award and the C. Brice Ratchford Memorial Fellowship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These awards celebrate our incredible faculty as they change the world and prepare the next generation of leaders. We\u2019re pleased to show our appreciation today and throughout the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2014 Mun<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today is World Teachers\u2019 Day, and I\u2019m proud to recognize Mizzou\u2019s incredible faculty and their commitment to our students and state.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9020","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/president.missouri.edu\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9020","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/president.missouri.edu\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/president.missouri.edu\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/president.missouri.edu\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/21"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/president.missouri.edu\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9020"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/president.missouri.edu\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9020\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/president.missouri.edu\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9020"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/president.missouri.edu\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9020"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/president.missouri.edu\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9020"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
