Coffman Chair for University Distinguished Teaching Scholars
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.
