CALL FOR NOMINATIONS
THE 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 have been of a quality that distinguishes
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.
Eligibility
The Award is open to all full-time faculty. This
includes lecturers and research faculty.
Those who hold restricted appointments (e.g., Adjunct, Visiting,
temporary or part-time faculty) are not eligible. Faculty who hold positions with a significant administrative
component (e.g., deans, associate deans, department chairs) are not eligible
for the award.
The Award will be presented 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.
