Volunteer positions are currently open for the 3M National Teaching Fellowship Award. Members can only serve on one adjudication committee at a time.

GENERAL RESPONSIBILITIES

• Confidentially reviewing and evaluating applicants’ nomination materials against the published criteria and submitting completed rubrics.
• Meeting virtually with fellow adjudicators to work toward consensus until unanimously agreeing on who will be selected as recipients of an award.

Responsibilities may vary slightly per Award.

All Committee members, excluding the 3M Canada representative, must be current STLHE members.
