The nomination deadline for the 2024 President’s Award for Innovation in Student Learning and Success has been extended to Mon., Sept. 9, providing another 10 days to submit a nomination.
Six additional one-hour information sessions have been planned leading up to the new deadline as well.
The President’s Award for Innovation in Student Learning is presented annually to up to five NC individuals or teams who push boundaries and facilitate new ways of teaching, engaging and supporting our students.
All employees – full- and part-time – engaged in the delivery and support of teaching or student success at NC are eligible. Individuals or teams may apply or be nominated for the award, and teams may be made up of two or more collaborators within or across units at the college who have contributed meaningfully to driving innovation.
Teams can also include non-staff partners (students, employers, community members), so long as the lead applicant is a Niagara College employee.
The award, valued at $2,500, can be used in one of two ways: to enable one or more contributors to attend a conference or another professional development opportunity or to advance their innovation in a meaningful way.
Award recipients will be celebrated at Niagara Day on October 23.
