EPS Graduate Student Teaching Award

The EPS Graduate Student Teaching Award is given annually to EPS TFs who exhibit excellence in teaching. Typically, there are two award recipients each academic year (usually one each for fall and spring terms). All EPS students who served as a TF for an FAS course, as well as other FAS students teaching an EPS course, are eligible. Each recipient receives an "Outstanding EPS Teaching Fellow" certificate, an engraved Estwing rock hammer, and $500. Nominations, provided by course heads, are reviewed during the summer and fall of the following year, and awardees are announced at the EPS Holiday Party in December. 

Certificate of Distinction in Teaching

TFs receiving a score of 4.5 or more (out of 5) with 5 or more responses on their Q scores at the end of the semester are awarded the Harvard University Certificate of Distinction in Teaching Award by the Bok Center. Certificate recipients are honored at a reception each semester.

Derek C. Bok Award for Excellence in Graduate Student Teaching of Undergraduates

Each academic year, five TFs from the University are selected by GSAS from a list of TFs nominated by their departments. Recipients of this award each receive a $1000 prize. TFs must have a Q score of 4.5+ to be nominated. Faculty nominations are due in March, and the awards are given out at a Bok Center reception in April.
