Abstract
The University of Nebraska–Lincoln established the Academy of Distinguished Teachers in 1994. Academy members are to engage in activities to support teaching at UNL. Such activities may include (but were not limited to), speaking about teaching and pedagogy at department, college, campus, state, regional, and national meetings, allowing other faculty to observe one's teaching, and serving in an advisory capacity to the Office of the Senior Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs on matters related to teaching at UNL. Following my selection into the UNL Academy of Distinguished Teachers in 2004, I explored ideas for how the structure of our campus organization could be changed and how we compared to those of other schools. The report was provided to the Office of Academic Affairs. In Fall 2008, enrollment of new members into the academy was suspended as the university introduced several chairs professorships for honoring and rewarding successful teachers.
