The Coffman Chair
for University Distinguished Teaching Scholars was created in 1995
to underscore Kansas State University's commitment to excellence
in undergraduate teaching and learning. A faculty member acknowledged
as a leading teaching scholar is appointed to the chair for one
academic year. All who are selected to hold the chair retain the
title of University Distinguished Teaching Scholar throughout their
careers.
During the year in residence, the scholar will conduct the affairs
of the chair with substantial personal discretion. The scholar's
time and resources will be spent to advance the interests of undergraduate
teaching and learning at Kansas State.
During the year following residence in the chair, the scholar submits
a summary report of his/her experience and the benefits that have
accrued to undergraduate teaching and learning as a result of these
activities. These reports are available on the provost's website.
