The Academy for Teaching Excellence was established in the college in 1997. Membership includes those FAES faculty members who have received the Ohio State Alumni Distinguished Teaching Award or the Gamma Sigma Delta Teaching Award of Merit.

This academy of scholars is charged to guide the college in developing programs which celebrate and nurture an environment for teaching excellence within the College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences. It is the group that faculty can count on to assure that high quality teaching is expected, that it is developed, cultivated and nurtured, and that it is rewarded, celebrated, and valued.

The academy serves as the primary body for developing policy related to academic instruction, and as an advisory group to the Senior Associate Dean and the Price Chair for Teaching, Advising, and Learning.
