Office of Faculty Affairs : Faculty of the Year Nomination and Processing Guidelines

GUIDELINES

All full time and part time faculty of the College of Medicine are eligible for this honor. While College administrators and Department Heads are eligible, strong cases must be presented for their receiving the award.

Any College of Medicine faculty member may make a nomination. The impact of the nominee's achievements does not need to have occurred in the year of the award. If the nominator is not the head of the nominee's unit, it is requested that the nominator submit a copy of the nomination materials to the appropriate head for his or her endorsement.

Nominations should be made each Spring, open to faculty at all four sites of the College of Medicine. All nominations should be submitted to the College Committee on Faculty Awards. However, if a campus wishes to use a selection committee to rank order its nominees it may do so and provide that information to the Faculty Awards Committee.

Criteria

Special achievement in University leadership or national/regional society
