ACJS/Sage Professional Development Teaching Award
ACJS/Sage Junior Faculty Professional Development Teaching Award & Workshop
Since 2008, the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences (ACJS) and Sage Publishing have sponsored the Junior Faculty Professional Development Teaching Award. The award was developed to recognize new teaching professionals in the criminal justice and criminology disciplines. Each winner receives a travel stipend funded by an annual donation from Sage to attend the ACJS/Sage Professional Development Teaching Workshop at the ACJS Annual Meeting.
The pool of applicants consisted of individuals who received a graduate degree within the last five years and are teaching criminal justice or criminology full time for less than five years. Faculty teaching in associate, baccalaureate, masters, and doctoral degree-granting institutions were encouraged to apply.
