Revised Liberal Arts Procedures for Selecting Nominees for Presidential Awards
Revised January 2006
In order to encourage more Liberal Arts faculty to apply for Presidential Awards, we will follow a simplified selection procedure in the College. Here are the details:
Departments and individual faculty may nominate candidates (self nomination is also acceptable). Nomination packets are due to the Dean’s office, FH 313, by 5 p.m. on the second Friday in February.
The initial nomination packet will consist of the following:
The twelve nominees will be notified (usually by the end of February) that they have been selected to compete at the University level. Each nominee will then have until 10 a.m. on the Monday after Spring Break to submit to the Dean a four-inch binder containing all the required documentation, as spelled out in PPS 6.11.
The Liberal Arts office will deliver all binders to the appropriate selection committee chair.
Eliminating the preparation of four-inch binders for the initial College-level nomination process should help encourage wider participation in the process. Presidential Award winners receive $5,000, and those sent forward as nominees to the University level are eligible to receive (and usually do receive) a $2,000 award. Liberal Arts Golden Apple Award winners also come from this pool of nominees.

The initial nomination packet will consist of the following:
- A letter of support from the person nominating the candidate, explaining why the candidate should receive the award. (This letter may be written by the candidate on his/her own behalf).
- A vita prepared by the candidate emphasizing achievements in the award area (teaching or service or scholarly/creative activity).
