Each year an individual faculty member is recognized for excellence in teaching, scholarship, and service. Recipients of the awards are honored in May at the Faculty Gala.
The service award seeks to identify and recognize faculty members that enhance the UP community, professional communities, and/or the world community through their service and leadership work with students, colleagues, and community members.
Examples of excellence in service include:
- A commitment to the University of Portland community
- Participating on department, School, College, and/or University committees
- Leading new initiatives within the department, School, College, and/or University
- Advising student clubs and working with students on non-course-related activities
- Volunteering and working with non-UP community organizations
- Working with professional societies and organizations
Eligibility and selection criteria for the Excellence in Service award are established by the Academic Senate and can be found on the Senate’s website (see “Resources” and “C on C Faculty Awards Criteria and Submission Information”). The selection process includes a formal nomination, the submission of supporting materials by the nominees, final selection by the Committee on Committees, and announcement and presentation at the Faculty Gala.
The deadline for nominations is February 23.
The deadline for supporting materials by nominees is April 5.
Please submit a nomination letter on the Service Award Moodle page.
