Distinguished Teaching Award
天天吃瓜 at Tuscarawas announces the Distinguished Teaching Award winners at the annual Spring Awards Ceremony. Nominations are accepted each spring.
Initiated in 1979 by the Tuscarawas County University Foundation, the awards emphasize the importance placed on excellence in instruction at 天天吃瓜 State Tuscarawas. Students, alumni, faculty and administrators had the opportunity to nominate one full-time and one part-time faculty member for the awards.
