Eight Missouri S&T faculty were honored with the “2017-2018 Sustained Excellence in Outstanding Teaching Award,” at the Faculty Awards Banquet Dec. 4, 2018. Developed by the Center for Advancing Faculty Excellence (CAFE), this new award recognizes instructors who have won Outstanding Teaching Awards in at least nine out of the last 10 consecutive years. A $500 monetary gift accompanied the honor and was funded through the Class of 1937 Faculty Excellence Endowment Fund. The award had not been announced previously and was a surprise to both the honorees and banquet attendees.
