presents
The Distinguished Achievement Award
Each year the Association of Former Students, in conjunction with Student Government and Academic Affairs, generously
makes funds available to provide faculty and staff at Texas A&M University with a number of awards. In the case of teaching
awards, one category of competition is at the college level only; for the second category of teaching awards, and for all
types of awards, competition is University-wide. These awards consist of a cash award, a framed certificate and in the case
of the University level award, an engraved watch. These awards are one of the most cherished traditions and honors at
Texas A&M.
Any student may make a nomination for individuals to receive awards in the categories of teaching and student relations.
The purpose of the two awards are as follows:
TEACHING - To recognize, encourage and reward the superior classroom teachers - those individuals whose command
of their respective discipline teaching methodologies pervasive caring, communication skills and commitment to the
learning process exemplify the meaning of TEACHER/MENTOR in the highest sense. This program is not intended to
be a popularity contest: rather, it is designed to distinguish those teachers who maintain high expectations of their stu
dents and who insure academic rigor in their courses. The distinguished teachers recognize their responsiblity in moti
vating their students and relationship of their subject matter and attitude toward the total development of the student.
STUDENT RELATIONS -To recognize, encourage and reward those individuals whose professional relationships with
students are particularly helpful and inspiring. The recipient of this award should be characterized by a genuine concern
for the welfare and development of students. Their actions should demonstrate the willingness to meet the special needs
of students while insuring that students accept their responsibilities and stretch to meet their own potential. The recipi
ents of this award make themselves available to students and provide opportunities for student growth and service.
Guidance and encouragement are offered in a spirit of mutual quest and shared expectations.
