Distinguished Faculty Address
Each year the University recognizes the work of one faculty member whose achievements in research, scholarship, and teaching place that person in the front ranks of his or her discipline. The institution invites that individual to deliver a Distinguished Faculty Address to the University community. The nominee should be a current faculty member on appointment, and be available during the spring semester to present the address.
Criteria
Criteria for the honor of being invited to deliver this address include:
- National/international distinction for original contributions to their discipline;
- Receipt of extramural support;
- National/international service; and
- Achievements in undergraduate and/or graduate education.
Application Process
Nominators are asked to submit the nomination form, a copy of the nominee’s curriculum vitae, and a narrative of 1000 words or less, stating why the nominee meets the award criteria and is deserving of the award. Please do not submit additional information during the initial phase. At a later date, the nominator(s) may be asked to provide additional supporting information, such as additional letters of support, upon request from the selection committee.
