Ithaca College

The Center for Faculty Excellence and the Faculty Development Committee seek nominations for Ithaca College’s annual Faculty Excellence Awards. We will offer five $1,500 awards.

To be eligible, a candidate must be a full-time faculty member who:

• has completed at least one year of employment at Ithaca College
• will be full-time (tenure, tenure eligible, or NTEN) during the 2016-17 academic year.

Diversity and Inclusion: The Faculty Excellence Awards seek to recognize excellence in all areas of the College and greater community and are committed to the institution’s aim “to build an inclusive and welcoming community of individuals with diverse talents and skills from a multitude of backgrounds who are committed to civility, respect, social justice, and the free and open exchange of ideas” (Ithaca College diversity statement, www.Ithaca.edu/diversity/statement). We particularly welcome the nomination of faculty who have achieved distinction in the area of promoting diversity in teaching, scholarship, and service.

Criteria: The foremost criterion for the Excellence Awards is an overall excellence in teaching, scholarship, and service appropriate to their appointment. (Descriptions of excellence in teaching, scholarship, and service are stated in the Ithaca College Policy Manual, Volume IV: Faculty Handbook.)

Nomination: Any faculty member, administrator/staff member, or student from the College community may nominate an individual for an excellence award. It is the nominator’s responsibility to complete and submit the nomination. A student nominator, however, may request that this responsibility be given to a faculty member or administrator/staff member. Self-nominations are not eligible.

Deadline: The nomination form along with supporting materials must be submitted as a complete electronic package to Andrew Utterson, Chair, Faculty Excellence Award Subcommittee, autterson@ithaca.edu, by Monday, February 29, 2016.
