Attached is additional information about the award and the selection process. We encourage you to distribute this information to all interested faculty and staff. All nominations should be submitted to the appropriate Dean who will then forward one nomination from the college (two from Letters and Science) to the Provost’s Office by March 24. If you have additional questions, please contact the Provost’s Office.
