Acawards:

The '''Mark Van Doren Award for Teaching''' has been awarded each year by the [[Academic Awards Committee]] of the [[CCSC]] with the aid of [[Academic Affairs]] since [[1962]]. Not to be confused with the [[Great Teacher Award]], or the [[Distinguished Columbia Faculty Award]].

Named after the legendary English professor [[Mark Van Doren]], the award recognizes outstanding teaching on the part of a faculty member the students of [[Columbia College]]. It is the highest teaching honor awarded by students of the college.

The award committee accepts nominations from the student body in the fall, and bases its decision on classroom observations.

The winner has traditionally been recognized along with the winner of the [[Lionel Trilling Book Award]] with a reception and awards ceremony at the end of the academic year.

The only professors to have won both the Van Doren and Trilling awards are [[Fritz Stern]], [[Robert Murphy]], [[Caroline Bynum]], [[Wm. Theodore de Bary]], and [[Carol Gluck]].
