The Talkington award rewards the tradition of teaching excellence as exemplified by the career of H. L. Talkington, who came to LCSC in 1899 and was an outstanding instructor here for 40 years. He was the first school librarian, was active in committee assignments, and wrote dozens of publications on Idaho and Pacific Northwest history.

Eligibility: Regular full-time faculty members who have taught at the college for at least three years.

Criteria: The award specifically stresses excellence in classroom teaching. The record of performance should emphasize the current year.
