The Harriet W. Sheridan Award for Distinguished Contribution to Teaching and Learning at Brown University The Harriet W. Sheridan Award for Distinguished Contribution to Teaching and Learning recognizes those faculty and staff of the University who exemplify teaching through the support of their colleagues, including graduate students, in professional development that integrates teaching and research. The Sheridan Center's Advisory Board invites faculty, and members of the University academic administration to nominate faculty colleagues for this award. Two awards will be given each year and carry a stipend of $2,000 each. As Professor of English, Dean of the College (1979-1986) and founder of the Sheridan Center (1987), Harriet W. Sheridan believed that ongoing professional development by faculty and graduate students was an essential commitment for institutions of higher education. Professional development integrates the impact of research and teaching on both graduate and undergraduate learning, and enables faculty to realize the University's mission. Dean Sheridan believed that "teaching artfully" supports Brown's historic commitment to a diverse student population and to learning environments which help students realize their potential. More information about Harriet W. Sheridan's vision and legacy can be found on the about the Sheridan Center page. To nominate a colleague, click here to review the criteria.
