THE FACULTY SERVICE AWARD

The University of Wisconsin-Whitewater honors a faculty member each year who has demonstrated outstanding service to the University and the academic profession.
    
All nominees for the award will be publicly announced and celebrated through university communication. The recipient of the award will also:
  • Receive a monetary award,
  • Have his/her name and photograph displayed in the Andersen Library for one year,
  • Be recognized at university events.

   

"Service" is defined as contributions to the University, as well as professional and public services activities.
  • Contributions to the University include contributions to the governance, administration, and operation of the institution.
  • Professional and public service activities include activities in the faculty member's discipline, art, profession, or society, provided that the faculty member provides such service as a practitioner of his/her discipline, art, or profession, or as a representative of the University or University system.
  • Consult the Standard Classification of Performance Data for a list of service activities.
  • Teaching and research activities are excluded from consideration for this award.

 

To be eligible for this award, the nominee must be a voting member of the faculty (see Article III, Section 3 of the Faculty Constitution) and must not be a previous recipient of this award. The Chair of the Faculty Senate will contact anyone who nominates an ineligible individual.

  

NOMINATION PROCESS

Nominations for the university-level Faculty Service Award may be submitted as self-nomination, nomination by a colleague, nomination by a Department, or nomination by a College. A nominee does not need to win their department or college award to be considered for the university award. 

The nominating entity should electronically submit to the Faculty Service Award Committee Chair (the Chair for 2022 is Kim Nath & committee information is available here) by February 15 of each year:

  1. A letter of nomination no longer than two typed letter-sized pages.
  2. A narrative of no longer than three typed pages describing the significance of the candidate's service activities.
  3. A listing of titles and dates of service activities. Contributions identified by an applicant must have been made while a member of the faculty at UW-Whitewater.

Note: If materials are missing, an individual's nomination for this award may not be considered.

After the Faculty Service Award Committee reviews all nominations, the Chair of the committee will submit the names of all nominees and the winner to the Provost's Office by March 1.

Nominees will then be contacted by the Provost's Office to submit an online form with a biography for event materials.
