Outstanding Service Award

Criteria

The basis for selection will be excellence in service to the College of Engineering and/or its units. Outstanding service can come in a variety of forms. It may be related to a specific contribution or to a cumulative effort. The service must be at a level significantly above and beyond the baseline expectation and have an impact that would not exist otherwise. Nominators are encouraged to nominate all deserving candidates.

Eligibility

This award is open to any faculty member in the College of Engineering, including regular, research, teaching, and special faculty, who has been a faculty member in the College of Engineering for at least 10 years, not necessarily continuously.

Nomination requirements

Nominations for the award will be submitted to the College of Engineering Award and Recognition Committee for Faculty by the deadline. The nominator must be a College of Engineering Department Head (or equivalent) or Associate Dean. Successful nomination packages must clearly describe impact in service.
