2023 TILL Teaching Innovation Award

The Teaching Innovation Learning Lab is pleased to announce the winners of the 2023 TILL Teaching Innovation Award. This annual award honors the University of Louisville's outstanding faculty who demonstrate a commitment to student engagement and learning through their work on one or more innovative teaching practices. Applications were reviewed by a committee of peers, Delphi Advisory Board members, and Delphi Center staff.

The TILL Teaching Innovation Award highlights the TILL's goals of (1) implementation and promotion of evidence-based teaching practices and (2) fostering student engagement, learning, and success.
