The Boulder Faculty Assembly Awards for Excellence in Service, 2013

The Boulder Faculty Assembly is pleased to announce that up to four (4) awards for excellence in service will be awarded for spring 2013. Each award will be in the amount of $3,000.

Faculty service is defined as all of those professional activities other than teaching and research that are performed by faculty members as part of their University and departmental responsibilities or as community outreach (internal, external, or both kinds of service). This may include such activities as:

- Committee work (department, campus, and university)
- Faculty governance
- Student advising
- Service in state, professional, or national organizations
- Volunteer work with public and non-profit organizations

Nomination Instructions

Nominations should not be "recycled" from the past, but rather should be prepared for this award cycle. Nomination packets must contain the following materials in the following order:

1. A cover letter from the person nominating the faculty member. If several people are nominating the faculty member they should jointly prepare one cover letter and cosign it.
2. 3 to 6 supporting letters. Submit signed letters of support if at all possible. If a signature is not possible, please include a copy of the email to which the letter of support was attached for confirmation purposes.
3. A statement written by the candidate on his or her service philosophy.
4. The candidate's curriculum vitae.

**Supporting letters may be from CU faculty members and administrators, alumni, students, and others inside or outside CU having knowledge of the nominee's service contributions. Other supporting materials may be included if appropriate but must follow the items on the list above.
