Teaching excellence has always been the focus of Carthage, and the College has always had a core of caring and stimulating teachers. In 1967, the Board of Trustees voted to recognize formally superior teaching by creating the Distinguished Teaching Award. It established a confidential committee to review nominations from students and select one faculty member for this special commendation. The Distinguished Teaching Award has now become an annual tradition. Each spring at the Honors Convocation, a Trustee announces that year’s winner, whose name is engraved on a plaque in Lentz Hall.
