The Weed Science Society of America (WSSA) Outstanding Teacher Award recognizes excellence in weed science teaching. Administered through the society’s awards program, it is a professional honor for outstanding instruction rather than a grant supporting a defined research project or future educational work. The award is listed in WSSA’s 2027 awards cycle and will be presented at the society’s annual meeting in Denver, Colorado.
The teaching distinction sits within WSSA’s broader recognition of achievements, contributions, and service in weed science. Dedicated award information, nomination, and nomination support documents guide submissions for this honor. Prospective nominators should use these teacher-specific materials alongside the society’s general awards policies.
