Carnegie Mellon University’s Celebration of Education honors the outstanding educators, advisors, and mentors who exemplify the university’s commitment to teaching, innovation, and student success. Each year, faculty and staff are recognized through a series of awards that highlight excellence in teaching, advising, mentoring, and educational outreach. Each spring, the annual ceremony brings together the CMU community to celebrate these achievements and to recognize the individuals whose dedication and creativity shape the university’s culture of learning.
The College Teaching Awards honor exemplary teaching by faculty members within the seven colleges at Carnegie Mellon. Each college selects their own recipient(s) based on specific criteria and they are chosen throughout the academic year, depending on the college's award cycle. The most recent awardees are again recognized at the Celebration of Education award ceremony.
