Faculty Appreciation Week 2026
Celebrating our faculty who give so much to students, scholarship and our community.
Dear TC Community,
We are pleased to share that this year’s TC Faculty Appreciation Week will take place from May 4 to 8. This is a wonderful opportunity to show our appreciation for our faculty and to spotlight the dedication and mentorship that they offer our students, as well as their support of staff and administration on behalf of the College.
The essential role of faculty — as scholars, teachers, leaders and mentors — cannot be emphasized enough. We hope that our TC community members will take a few moments to recognize and honor faculty members who have made an impact on you and the College. You can do this by posting a comment below or by submitting a handwritten note in the drop box, located in front of Everett Lounge in Zankel Hall.
We would love to hear from you about the TC faculty members who have made a difference in your work and your lives. Sharing these stories and tributes will inspire our community while reminding our faculty how valued and beloved they are.
Thank you,
Laura Smith
Vice Dean for Faculty Affairs
