Revision as of 21:47, 2 February 2014 by Pbailinson (talk | contribs)
The Academic Awards Committee of the Columbia College Student Council is recruited each fall for the purpose of selecting the winners of the Mark Van Doren Award and Lionel Trilling Book Award.
Members of the committee observe the classroom teaching of faculty members nominated for the Van Doren Award, and read all the book-length scholarly publications by faculty members in the previous calendar year for the Trilling Award.
Committee members then host a dinner during which they present the awards to the selected faculty members.
