The Society for Classical Studies (SCS) presents these awards to give public recognition to excellence in teaching Classics at the college and university level and to encourage its continuation. Its Committee on the Awards for Excellence in the Teaching of Classics at the College Level invites nominations of faculty from public and private institutions, large and small, and from a wide range of departments.
Teaching may cover Classics in its broadest sense, including Greek and Latin language, literature, culture, art, archaeology, history, and reception. Winners are selected by the Teaching Excellence Awards Committee, and the awards will be presented at the plenary session of the SCS Annual Meeting in January 2027.
