RECOGNIZING EXCELLENCE IN INSTRUCTION
The Awards Committee works every year to provide recognition to faculty at Boise State University who go above and beyond in the classroom. Students submit nominations for professors who have made a positive impact on their education–and often hundreds of nominations are received, many for the same professor. By facilitating appreciation for our excellent faculty, the Committee aims both to amplify student voices on best practices in their education and retain top-notch talent in our departments.

Join us in Celebrating our Faculty
The annual Awards ceremony will take place on Thursday, April 17th at 6pm in the Alumni and Friends Center (AFC) Ballroom. All students and faculty are encouraged to attend.
Golden Apple Award
The Golden Apple Award celebrates professors who have proactively made profound impacts on the lives of their students. Their excellence in teaching and fostering an environment of growth drives students to reach for their goals. Amidst hundreds of nominations, 1-2 professors from each college are chosen to receive a Golden Apple.
Academic Freedom Award
For the first time ever, ASBSU has also added the Academic Freedom Award. This new honor is given to one faculty member at the University in recognition of outstanding contributions to a culture of academic freedom within the classroom, through cutting-edge research, and in their work with students.
