Dear Honorables, 

Each year, the Honors Program selects a University of Iowa Honors Instructor for a Mentoring Award and a Teaching Award. You may nominate one instructor for each award. 

Honors Mentoring Award: This award's purpose is to recognize the vital role honors thesis or project mentors perform in the education of honors students. Over three-quarters of honors students are involved with research and projects, and that work would be impossible without the guidance of their mentors. 

Honors Teaching Award: This award's purpose is to acknowledge the critical and central role honors faculty play in the experience our students have at the university and in the Honors Program.
