The MIT School of Science celebrates the tremendous educational contributions of our faculty and instructional staff with two awards, given annually, that recognize their achievements in teaching and in mentorship and advising. 

The Award for Teaching Excellence is given to two individuals: a junior faculty member who was reviewed in the previous calendar year for the AWOT promotion, and a tenured faculty member or instructional staff member selected from a pool of departmental nominations.

The Award for Excellence in Mentoring and Advising is awarded to a tenured faculty member who was reviewed in the previous calendar year for the Full Professor or AWIT promotion.
