Nominations for Faculty Outstanding Service Award due April 2

Western Washington University President Bruce Shepard has announced that the Faculty Outstanding Service Award, which includes a $1,500 WWU Foundation fund, has again been made possible by the Western Washington University Foundation.

The award is intended to recognize a faculty member who has made outstanding efforts to serve and enrich the intellectual vitality of the campus and the broader community. These service-focused contributions may include service to the university, service-learning programs, outreach programs to the local and broader community and service to the profession.

The following criteria and policies are used for selection:

• No person shall receive this award more than once.
• Only winners will be announced. Candidates’ names shall not be published at any time during or after the process.
• Tenure is not a requirement, but candidates must be full-time faculty members. Visiting faculty are not eligible.
• Nominees will be asked if they wish to be considered, and, if so, will be required to submit supporting materials to the evaluation committee. Nominees from the previous year may elect to remain under consideration for the subsequent year and resubmit supporting materials.
• This is a service award, not a teaching or research award. Submitted materials should relate to service.
• The evaluation committee may devise additional or alternative criteria and/or process upon announcement.
• The evaluation committee will evaluate all material and make a selection according to its best judgment.

Nominations are due April 2. Nominations and letters of evaluation should be forwarded to Brian Burton, dean of the College of Business and Economics, at MS 9072.
