This award recognizes truly outstanding work and creativity in teaching and mentoring, in directing student research, or in the general educational process (lectures, publications on education, workshops, textbooks, short courses, videos, interest lectures, etc.) among ceramic/glass educators.

The Nominating Process

Any interested individual or group may nominate a person. A three-page curriculum vitae description of teaching efforts and consequences of this work will be used for the judging.

The nomination might include descriptions of professional preparation (educational background and training), professional appointments, descriptions of typical ceramic courses taught, descriptions of courses or labs developed, or videos created by the individual, data on number of these supervised, a publication list highlighting books, reviews, or tutorial articles, descriptions of educational programs developed, and educational service within the broader ceramics community. A nomination will be active, and therefore, considered for five (5) years.

The EPDC Awards Committee and the two immediate past recipients of the award will select the awardee.
