About the Seymour Weiss Excellence in Teaching Award

The Seymour Weiss Excellence in Teaching Award is the College’s most prestigious award presented to a faculty member. The recipient receives a gold lapel pin, an embossed plaque, a certificate of excellence and a monetary award. The faculty member’s monetary award is funded through a permanent endowed trust fund, the Delgado Community College Seymour Weiss Endowed Professorship. This endowment is made possible through the Board of Regents’ Louisiana Education Quality Support Fund (LEQSF) program and is jointly funded by the LEQSF and the Delgado Community College Foundation Seymour Weiss Trust Fund. In addition, all Excellence in Teaching nominees have first preference for funding to attend the current year’s National Institute for Staff and Organizational Development (NISOD) Conference.
