Board of Governors Faculty Recognition Award 2008

In 1974, the Board of Governors, in conjunction with the President, established an annual Board of Governors Faculty Recognition Award, to be given each year to five members of the regular full-time faculty in recognition of a particular accomplishment or achievement during the previous academic year. Each award consists of a citation, an engraved plaque and an unrestricted grant of $2,500. The Board has regularly taken note of the many outstanding accomplishments of the faculty, and the establishment of this award is an expression of the Board's appreciation. 

The award is based upon a particular work of merit brought to fruition in the twelve-month period immediately preceding the year of the award. Awards made in 2008 will be based upon accomplishments during the period of September 1, 2006, to August 31, 2007. The work of merit should be a single act or event, which constituted an outstanding contribution to scholarship and learning. It could be a publication, a scientific discovery, an exhibition, a performance, national recognition by a learned society, the organization of a symposium or conference of national significance or a major contribution to the community. 

Nominations for this year's awards are now in order. Any faculty member or group of faculty may nominate any other full-time faculty member. The nominator should as a minimum provide the following: 

a.    A copy of the work or a description of the accomplishment in some detail. (If the work is a book, please include verification from the publisher of the month and the year of the copyright date.) 

b.      Supporting documents as available (reviews, endorsements, references, etc.). 

c.      The professional record of the nominee. 

A Selection Advisory Committee, consisting of five faculty members who have previously received the award, will make recommendations for the award.  

Send all nominations (original and five copies on 3-hole paper) for the award directly to Lynn Slone in the Office of the Provost, 4092 FAB, by Friday, November 9, 2007.
