The award was established in 1981 by the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE), an international organization that works in cooperation with the Carnegie Foundation and various higher-education associations in its administration.
The award recognizes a professor's impact on and involvement with undergraduate students; scholarly approach to teaching and learning; contribution to undergraduate education in the institution, community and profession; and support from colleagues and current and former undergraduate students.
