The Student Undergraduate Teaching Awards were established in 1989 and is funded by student fees to provide monetary awards to exemplary professors and teaching assistants. The winners of the awards are nominated by undergraduate students and the final selection is made by a committee composed entirely of members of the undergraduate student body.
