The nomination deadline is January 31, 2025.

The Odney Award was established with the NDSU Development Foundation by the family of the late Robert Odney to recognize outstanding faculty teaching. The ideal candidate for the award would be one who stimulates continuing interest in the subject matter; presents course material in a clear and suitable manner; demands rigorous thought and generates enthusiastic responses from students; demonstrates distinctive competence in his or her field; and has made positive contributions to the educational experience of students at North Dakota State University. The selection will be made from a pool of nominations by students and submitted to Faculty Affairs/Office of the Provost.

To nominate a faculty member for this award, submit applications through the online submission form. Finalists will be asked to provide a CV and a letter explaining their teaching philosophy and detailing their teaching activities for the Faculty and Recognition Awards Committee to review.
