It is time, again, to nominate Ivy Tech-Central Indiana’s distinguished faculty and staff for the NISOD Excellence award.
NISOD Award History
Since its inception in 1978, the National Institute for Staff and Organizational Development (NISOD) has emphasized the importance of teaching and leadership excellence in institutions of higher education. NISOD has worked to serve, engage, and inspire teachers and leaders through their conferences, publications, web services, partnerships, programs and more. In 1989, in connection with a University of Texas national study of teaching excellence, NISOD hosted its first ceremony, held in conjunction with the annual International Conference on Teaching and Leadership Excellence, honoring and naming the individuals featured in this study as recipients of the NISOD Excellence Award. The response to that ceremony was so positive that NISOD decided to begin what has become a celebratory tradition once per year at the NISOD conference to honor the world's best in higher education. More information about the NISOD Awards or NISOD itself is located at the NISOD website at
