University-wide award presented to a full-time faculty member for excellence in inspirational teaching of undergraduate students, particularly first- and second-year students.

The Tanner awards were created in 1952 with a bequest by Kenneth Spencer Tanner, class of 1911, and his sister, Sara Tanner Crawford, and by them on behalf of their deceased brothers, Simpson Bobo Tanner, Jr. and Jesse Spencer Tanner.

The award was established in memory of their parents, Lola Spencer and Simpson Bobo Tanner to recognize excellence in inspirational teaching of undergraduate students, particularly first- and second-year students.
