The Society of Toxicology (SOT) is committed to excellence in toxicological education and has recognized educators in toxicology for almost 40 years. As a result SOT bestows the Education Award to an individual who is distinguished in the arena of teaching and training toxicologists and who has made significant contributions to toxicology. Pictured are SOT 2013–2014 Vice President Norbert E. Kaminski (left) presenting the 2013 Education Award to Rick G. Schnellmann (right).
Like most SOT Awards, nominations for the Education Award should include the nominee’s curriculum vitae (CV) and both a primary and seconding letter of nomination from Full Members of the Society that includes documentation and description of the significant contributions to toxicology by the nominee. Please note that letters simply listing accomplishments found in the CV are not sufficient without analysis and discussion of the importance of the contributions and how the nominee meets the award criteria.
If you have benefited from the instruction by a superb educator or know someone highly respected within the realm of education in toxicology who has made meaningful contributions to the field, please take a moment to nominate him or her for the SOT Education Award by visiting the Awards and Fellowships section of the SOT website. Nominations are accepted online through October 9, 2013.
