From Art 100 to Physics 101, about 500 different instructors teach Boise State’s foundational courses for non-majors. These teachers are responsible for approximately one-third of all the courses students take. The General Education Committee of Boise State’s faculty senate created the University Foundations Teaching Awards to recognize the essential work of these educators.
The following faculty were nominated by students, fellow instructors or department chairs based on evidence of exemplary teaching, creativity in course design or implementation and excellence in translating disciplinary methods of inquiry to non-majors.
Congratulations to the 2024 Winners.
