Award for Distinguished Faculty Service The award is presented each year, when merited, to the faculty member who contributes significantly to his or her discipline as follows: the creation of new knowledge through original research (including that generated through the direction of student projects); the development of new understanding through scholarly works that analyze, interpret, and/or reorganize existing knowledge; the dissemination of new or existing knowledge through participation in scholarly meetings and conferences; editing or reviewing of scholarly production; the advancement of one's scholarly discipline through participation in disciplinary organizations. Nomination and Selection Process Nominations--which may be submitted by any faculty member, department head, or dean--should be sent to the academic dean corresponding to the department of the nominee. The nomination must be accompanied by a written endorsement from the faculty member's department head. The Research and Scholarship Committee and one member of the Alumni Association Board of Directors will make a recommendation to the Vice President and Dean of Faculty.
to the Community Criteria The award is presented each year, when merited, to a person with faculty rank who has shown outstanding service to the local or larger community. This award specifically recognizes the use of the faculty member's academic expertise in ways that benefit the community or the public in general. Recognized activities may include service on boards, consulting, public presentations or lectures, or other activities that are donated to the community. Nomination and Selection Process Nominations, which may originate with anyone, should be sent to the academic dean corresponding to the department of the nominee. The Council of Deans will forward its recommendation(s) to the Executive Committee before the end of spring semester, and the Executive Committee will then decide whether to identify a recipient of the award. Eligibility for this award includes all those with faculty rank, including members of the administration. Nominations should provide significant supporting documentation, including the record of service and an informed evaluation of that service, to justify an award.
to the University Criteria The award is presented each year, when merited, to a faculty member who has been outstanding in serving the university, including representing or serving as an advocate of the university, at academic or other functions, through committee service (faculty, university, college/school, departmental, and ad hoc), development of new resources (programs, procedures, facilities), and presentation of faculty lectures, field trips, etc.. Nomination and Selection Process Nominations–which may originate with any member of the university community, including alumni–should be sent to the academic dean corresponding to the department of the nominee. Eligibility for this award is limited to full-time faculty. Nominations need not be signed, but a contact person for each nomination is preferred. Nominations should provide significant supporting documentation to justify an award so that the Executive Committee can, if there is any doubt, verify the basis for offering the award.
The award is presented each year to a faculty member who has been outstanding in teaching and learning, advisement, counseling, and the encouragement and support of student involvement in academic and co-curricular activities (e.g., research, scholarship, creative works, student organizations, mentoring, and student leadership activities). Nomination and Selection Process Nominations, limited to full-time faculty, will originate with department heads and will be forwarded to the appropriate dean. Student and faculty input will be solicited in this process. By the end of spring semester, the deans of each of the four schools/colleges (Graduate, Education, Health Professions, and Arts & Sciences) as well as the Dean of Enrollment Services and the Vice President for Student Affairs will each name up to two nominees. With the exception of the Graduate School, the nominees should come from faculty within the respective colleges. Because of the mission of the Graduate School, nominees may come from any of the other three colleges. Deans are encouraged to involve faculty and students in the selection of their nominees. After the beginning of fall semester, the awards committee of the student senate will gather information about the nominees. Using a uniform presentation process, each of the nominees will be presented to the senate and executive officers by a student. The senate and officers will vote by secret ballot, with a simple majority deciding the winner. Votes will be tallied by the President of the Senate, the Secretary of SGA, and the Advisor to SGA.
The award is presented each year, when merited, to a faculty member who has been at AASU full time for not less than one year nor more than five years, who is recognized as an outstanding teacher, and who has made significant contributions through service to the university and to its students. Nomination and Selection Process Nominations, which may originate with any member of the university community, should be sent to the Chair of the Library Committee, Dr. David Gleeson. Minimum documentation to support the nomination should include the most current APAR; a statement of support from the nominee’s department head or dean; letters of recommendation from students and/or colleagues which address the nominee’s teaching effectiveness and the nature and scope of service to the university and its students.
