Faculty Merit Award Nomination requests coming soon!
Each year during Spring quarter the Department requests nominations for the Faculty Merit Award from the Architecture Department. Emails will be sent out shortly. If you would like to begin consideration of who you would like to nominate, refer to the information below for criteria and process requirements.
Criteria
The basic criterion for selection of a recipient is outstanding meritorious achievement.
Such achievements may be of one or more of the categories listed in the Appointment, Retention, Promotion & Tenure (ARPT) Criteria (final decisions are at the discretion of the judges). Current ARPT Activities of Merit categories are:
- Teaching Performance and/or Other Professional Performance
- Professional Growth and Achievement
- Service to the University, Students and Community
- Other Factors of Consideration, such as ability to relate with colleagues, initiative, cooperativeness, dependability
Eligibility of Candidates
Eligibility criteria are as follows:
- Each nominee must be employed as a full-time instructor or department head (or equivalent) during the year of nomination, and be at least in the third year of employment.
- Nominees must be members of the Architecture Department.
Nomination, Screening and Selection
Nominations will be accepted from students, faculty, and staff of the Architecture Department. No specific form is required other than it be written and signed by the nominator. However, a nomination form for the 2015-16 Faculty Merit Award will be emailed to faculty, staff and students to complete via the link to the Faculty Merit Award Nomination page.
A Screening and Selection Committee of judges composed of the three immediate past chairs of the Architecture Department Tenured Faculty (elected positions) will receive the nominations, determine eligibility and criteria satisfaction, and select the recipient of the award.
