Arts & Sciences Award for Faculty Governance
- In order to honor faculty members in Arts & Sciences who devote special efforts to helping their colleagues through committee membership and other service in departments, programs, Arts & Sciences and College committees, the Dean will make two $2,000 awards each year.
- Nominations will be due November 1 in the Dean’s office.
- The dean will request nominations from members of the A&S Nominations and Elections Committee, FAC members, and department chairs and program directors. Chairs and directors may develop procedures within their units to submit nominations to the Dean.
- Nominations will consist of a single letter of nomination and the nominee’s c.v., both in hard copy. Under normal circumstances, the nominees will not be informed of the nomination.
- In addition to service to departments and/or programs, nominees will have had extensive and meritorious service on such committees or positions as FAC, Retention, Promotion, and Tenure, Study Abroad, Faculty Assembly, EPC, COGS, Institutional Compliance, DAC Co-Chairs, and Arts & Sciences and College committees, including search committees.
- Initially, the dean will decide on the awardees in consultation with the Arts & Sciences deans. In subsequent years, past awardees will constitute the selection advisory committee.
- Two $2,000 awards will be made annually in May, with the funds applied as either a one-time salary stipend or research support for the next year.
- The names of the awardees will be posted on a plaque in the dean’s suite.
- Typically, one award will be made for a tenured faculty member with no more than ten years’ service and one for a tenured faculty member with more than ten years’ service.
- Recognition will be given at May and September faculty meetings.
- Appropriate endowment of these awards will be sought.
