Following an evaluation of candidates, recipients will be chosen for in the following categories:
- Excellence in Teaching Award–Lecturer
- Excellence in Teaching Award–Tenure-line faculty
- Scholar of the Year
- Outstanding Service Award
- Outstanding Professor Award
Nominees must meet the eligibility criteria specified for the award for which they are nominated. Submitted letters supporting nominations should summarize the nominee’s outstanding qualities and include the required supporting evidence provided by the nominee. Faculty may also nominate themselves. The letter of nomination and supporting evidence are to be sent electronically via email to Lura.Holtkamp@humboldt.edu in the Office of Academic Affairs by 5 p.m., Friday, Feb. 20, 2015. For assistance with nomination submissions, please call Lura at x5083 or at Siemen’s Hall 216.
Because putting together an effective nomination dossier places a certain burden on the nominee, nominators should notify the candidate well in advance of the deadline. If possible, nominators should share the responsibility of gathering letters from students, colleagues, etc., in support of the nomination.
Based on the nomination letter and other supporting evidence, the Committee will propose recipients whose contributions reflect superiority with regard to the criteria set forth by the HSU University Senate. The Committee’s decisions will be forwarded to the University Senate for its consideration at the Senate meeting of March 10, 2015, and then forwarded to the President for conferral of awards.
Recipients of the 2014-2015 faculty awards will be recognized at the annual Honors Dinner, sponsored by the Development and Alumni Relations Office, on April 24, 2015.
Nomination Guidelines may be found on the Academic Affairs website under Faculty Awards. Please contact the Provost’s Office (ext. 5083 or lura.holtkamp@humboldt.edu) with any questions.
