We invite the faculty to nominate approximately the top nine percent of our GSIs and TAs from Spring, Summer and Fall semesters of the previous calendar year. From these, our Student Awards committee selects a subset for our departmental Outstanding TA awards. The remainder will be considered for nomination for the campus award. We have a large department with hundreds of GSIs/TAs per semester. These students serve roles of administration; support design content; support diversity, equity and inclusion; support struggling students; author and support projects; create course innovation; go above-and-beyond in answering questions online, and more. Faculty are encouraged to surface the roles TAs play on their staff website, so that if an experience is truly wonderful, students know whom to thank. Recommenders are encouraged to look beyond the traditional roles when recommending their TAs, and to be explicit in their nomination letter to highlight the things the TA did that were noteworthy.

Students selected for the campus award are recognized by the campus in their Outstanding Graduate Student Instructor Awards. Those selected for the EECS Outstanding TA Award are recognized at the EECS Student Award Ceremony.
