Each year TYCA-West gives out awards in an effort to recognize two-year college English teachers in our region who exemplify innovation and creativity.
In Spring 2008 the TYCA-West REC members voted to add a fourth award modeled after National TYCA’s “ Nell Ann Picket Service Award. The TYCA-West Service Award recognizes the time, talent, “vision and voice” of service and leadership. This may include work at the institutional/regional level (faculty mentoring, research, boards and committees, etc.) or “work uniting the goals and efforts of organizations and groups that promote two-year colleges”(from the Two-Year College English Association Handbook section 7.2).
Awards
Each winner will receive a $50 award and recognition at that year’s TYCA-West conference.
Eligibility
Two-year college full or part-time instructors in English, composition, literature, technical writing, and closely related disciplines. Nominees should currently teach at a two-year college in Arizona, Hawaii, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, or Southern Idaho. Nominations by colleagues are preferred, but self-nominations are acceptable.
Deadline
Two weeks before the upcoming TYCA-West conference. (Friday Sept. 26, 2008)
