Non-Tenured Faculty Teaching Award

Established in honor of Professor Ralph Helmkamp, Class of 1911, professor of chemistry, this award recognizes teaching excellence by a non-tenured member of the faculty. The award is intended for faculty on the tenure track who have not yet been tenured.

To quote the donor: “Recognizing that many tenured faculty members excel in both teaching and research, it is my expectation that this annual award, directed exclusively to the non-tenured faculty, will encourage both interest and excellence in instruction at the undergraduate and graduate levels.”

The faculty recipient is honored with a citation at commencement, and also receives a monetary award.
