About the Awards

The Chancellor provides financial support for these prestigious awards and a ceremony in the spring recognizes the winners and features a keynote by the Hazel Barnes Awardee for that year. All members of the Boulder Faculty Senate, are eligible to be nominated however, the selection process gives preference to nominees who have been with the University of Colorado for at least five years. Additionally, nominated faculty must be in good standing with the University in order to be considered. Submission deadlines for AY 22-23 will be announced by October 31st, 2022. Although faculty may receive the award for a given category only once, they are eligible to receive awards in either of the other two categories in different years.
