Eligibility
Nominees must be tenured faculty members.
Although a faculty member may be nominated in multiple categories, he or she may compete for only one award. The nominee may select the category. For example, if someone is nominated in both the teaching and service categories, he or she may submit support materials for one or the other, but not both.
Support materials from nominees are due by 4 p.m. Nov. 4, 2015.
