Group seeks Golden Apple nominations

Members of Students Honoring Outstanding Undergraduate Teaching have begun their annual search for inspiring professors. The fifth Golden Apple Award seeks to reward outstanding overall teaching, and is awarded based on student support and nominations.

Previous winners of the University's only student-elected teaching award include history Prof. Tom Collier, chemistry Prof. Brian Coppola, history Prof. Sidney Fine, English Prof. Ralph Williams and psychology Prof. Drew Weston. These faculty are ineligible for this year's Golden Apple.

The recipient will give an "ideal last lecture" later in the semester as part of an awards ceremony honoring them. Prior lectures have packed Rackham Auditorium.

SHOUT won the 1994 Haber Award for the greatest activity sponsored by a campus Hillel nationwide.

Students can send nominations for the Golden Apple Award to shout@umich.edu, or submit a ballot to boxes located in the Campus Information Center in the Michigan Union, the Angell Hall Computing Center or the North Campus Commons.
