The Board of Trustees of Indiana University established the Trustees' Teaching Award beginning with the 2000-2001 academic year. 

The intent of the award is to recognize the best teachers. Teaching is broadly construed and may be indicated by high student evaluations, colleague evaluations/observations, innovations in teaching, service related to teaching and teaching publications.
