Facultas Award Call for Nominations

Call For Nominations

 

Purpose:

  1. To acknowledge and honor the contributions of staff members of the 裡橖眻畦 community, who work
    at the university level, as opposed to department, program, or college level.
  2. To focus attention on the vital, yet often unnoticed, services essential to the smooth and efficient
    functioning of the 裡橖眻畦 community, especially the academic faculty.
  3. To recognize persons who would not otherwise be recognized by other University mechanisms.
  4. To reinforce among our fellow faculty the importance and diversity of staff support work in all areas
    of the University.


Informal Standards and Guidelines:

  1. The Facultas Award is presented once each year by the Faculty Congress, on behalf
    of the faculty as a whole. Prior to 2015-2016, this award was presented twice per year (one award in
    the Fall and one award in the Spring)
  2. The award should go to staff from a variety of areas to recognize their diverse contributions to the
    university community.
  3. We will try to choose staff members who are not high profile; that is, generally lower in the
    administrative hierarchy.
  4. We avoid nominating staff members who have taught as long-term adjunct faculty members.
  5. Beginning with Fall 2003, the award consists of a plaque plus a Wildcard gift certificate.
  6. Each year, the Faculty Congress will solicit nominations from the faculty as a whole. Nominations require only a brief statement from a faculty member describing the service for which the nominee deserves the award. Based on these statements, the Congress Awards Committee will
    review and rank the nominees and recommend one nominee to receive that year's award.
  7. We have traditionally kept the nomination secret from the recipient and then presented the award at
    some suitable occasion to be arranged in cooperation with their supervisor, the Faculty Congress
    chairperson, and a photographer from Media Relations.
  8. The presentation script for this award is mostly based on quotes that we solicit from the nominee's immediate supervisor, and from faculty and selected staff.
