Ithaca College

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), of any rank, during the 2017-18 academic year.

Criteria

Excellence: The foremost criterion for the Excellence Awards is an overall excellence in the responsibilities of a faculty member’s specific appointment including teaching, scholarship and/or professional activity, and service.

1. Teaching: Teaching excellence remains at the heart of our institution. Excellent teaching is consistent and sustained, although pedagogies vary from discipline to discipline and school to school. Such diverse teaching enriches our campus.

2. Scholarship: Ithaca College and the Center for Faculty Excellence recognize many forms of excellence regarding scholarly work. The Boyer Model is one model used to embrace various forms of quality scholarship including but not limited to scholarship of discovery, integration, application, teaching, and artistic endeavor.

3: Service: Service is also recognized on many levels including service to the department, school, college, profession and community.

Descriptions of excellence in teaching, scholarship, and service are stated in the Ithaca College Policy Manual, Volume IV: Faculty Handbook section 4.12.7.

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).We particularly welcome the nomination of faculty who have achieved distinction in the area of promoting diversity in teaching, scholarship, and service.

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. More information and submission requirements can be found at the Center for Faculty Excellence website.

Deadline: The nomination form along with supporting materials must be submitted as a complete electronic package by Monday, February 27, 2017 and sent to Jill Mayer, Chair, Faculty Excellence Award Subcommittee, jmayer@ithaca.edu.
