University Faculty Mentoring Award Nomination Form (DOC)
- Purpose
Mentoring is an integral part of encouraging faculty vitality and professional growth. Mentoring involves not only professional support, but also personal, and social aspects and includes activities related to teaching, scholarship, service and academic career development. The Annual Award for Excellence in Faculty Mentoring seeks to recognize the important role that faculty play in supporting their colleagues through supportive mentoring relationships.
- Eligibility
The mentoring award will be given to a faculty member, rostered for at least three years on the downtown campus, who has served as an exceptional mentor to other faculty. All faculty members (tenured, tenure-track, and non-tenure-track) are eligible to be nominated. Nominations will be accepted from Downtown Campus tenured, tenure-track and nontenure-track faculty. Individuals or groups may nominate a candidate. Once awarded, a faculty member is ineligible to receive the award in the subsequent two years. All nominated faculty members not initially selected, as the awardee will be considered in the subsequent two years.
