Faculty Awards Program and Call for Nominations |
I am pleased to announce the faculty awards program for
academic year 2009-10. Washington State University has
more than 2,000 highly talented and dedicated faculty
who, on a daily basis, enrich the lives of our students
through high quality instruction while making
tremendous contributions to our state, nation, and
world in the areas of research, public service,
scholarship, and arts. Our university's theme
"World Class. Face to Face ." clearly reflects
our superb faculty and their exemplary efforts.
In establishing university awards, Washington State
University seeks to recognize the truly outstanding
accomplishments and exceptional individual achievements
of its faculty. The awards are designed to honor those
faculty members who epitomize the highest levels of
excellence in the pursuit of the university's mission
and goals. I am seeking your support in nominating
outstanding faculty members whose performance clearly
distinguishes them from their colleagues for these
university-level awards.
The faculty awards I am seeking nominations for are:
- Eminent Faculty Award;
- Sahlin Faculty Excellence Awards
Instruction;
Leadership;
Outreach and Engagement;
Research, Scholarship and Arts; - Marian E. Smith Faculty Achievement Award; and the
- Distinguished Faculty Address.
Previous recipients of the awards can be found at the Office of the Provost web site http://provost.wsu.edu/awards_program/previous_award_recipients/.
Nominations for all awards are due in the Office of the Provost, Campus: 1046, by October 09, 2009. All faculty, staff, and students are encouraged to nominate faculty members for these awards.
Nominators are asked to submit the enclosed nomination form, a copy of the nominee’s vita, and a narrative stating why the nominee meets the award criteria and is deserving of the award. The nominator(s) may be asked to provide additional supporting information upon request from the selection committees. All awards will be presented at the Faculty Honors Convocation during the spring semester.
