The Weinberg College Teaching Awards applaud excellence in instruction, significant contributions to curricular innovation, exemplary mentoring of research and independent study, and fostering of a sense of community both inside and outside the classroom. Award recipients are nominated by students and faculty, selected by Weinberg's student-faculty Committee on Teaching Awards and approved by the Dean.

The McCormick and Alumnae Teaching Professorships recognize individual faculty members throughout Northwestern University who have consistently demonstrated outstanding performance in classroom teaching or who have developed significant innovations influencing the methods and teaching effectiveness of other faculty. Nominations are made by the deans of the schools and college, selected by a committee of senior faculty chaired by the Provost, and recommended to the President and the Board of Trustees for approval.
