CALL FOR NOMINATIONS

 

THE 2008 MTU FACULTY DISTINGUISHED SERVICE AWARD

 

Nature of the Award

The Faculty Distinguished Service Award is intended to complement the Distinguished Teaching and the Distinguished Research Awards already established at the University. It recognizes service to the University Community that has significantly improved the quality of some aspect of campus life. The work could have resulted, in part, from compensated efforts, but it must distinguish itself above and beyond the normal execution of those tasks. The Award is intended to recognize exceptional rather than integrated service.  It is not a lifetime achievement award.

A cash prize of $2,500 accompanies the Award.

The Award will be presented at the President's Convocation during the fall semester. It need not be awarded every year and may not be awarded to the same person more than once in any ten-year period.

 

Eligibility

The Award is open to all full-time faculty, including lecturers and research faculty.

Faculty with restricted appointments (e.g., adjunct, visiting, temporary or part-time) are not eligible for this award.

Faculty who hold positions with significant administrative components (e.g., deans, associate deans, department chairs) are also not eligible for the award.
