Common Core Awards

The Common Core Program strives to provide undergraduate students with a well-rounded education that broadens their horizons, inspires and ignites their passion for learning, and empowers them for lifelong pursuit of excellence. With notable contributions of instructors and strong commitment of students, the Common Core Program continues to soar to new heights.

To foster a culture of united excellence within the Common Core Program across teaching and learning dimensions, the Common Core Awards, featuring the Common Core Teaching Excellence Award (“Teaching Award”) and the Common Core Student Recognition Award (“Student Award”), are established to acknowledge instructors for their outstanding contributions to exemplary common core courses and students for their exceptional achievements in common core studies.
