Nomination Process

Nominations will come from the provost’s council and be submitted to the provost’s office. A selection committee will bring recommendations forward to the provost. This committee will consist of representatives from the provost council and may also include past award winners.

Eligibility

Although award nominations may build on past work, the nominee should have exhibited significant accomplishments over the prior academic year to be considered for an award. Nominees may be nominated for more than one award.
