Faculty Awards Program and Call for Nominations |
I am pleased to announce the faculty awards program for
academic year 2007-08. 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 8,
2007. 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.
