Max S. Peters Faculty Service Award

The award recognizes outstanding service by faculty in the College of Engineering and Applied Science to the profession of engineering, the college, the university, and/or the citizens of the state of Colorado. Teaching, research, and tenured/tenure-track faculty are eligible. The award is named after its first recipient, Max S. Peters, former dean of the college and 1971 Distinguished Engineering Alumni Award recipient. 

The service may be professional, civic, or of other character. The contribution of the nominee should emphasize the individual’s concern for the common good, the willingness to give time, the understanding shown of others and their problems, the ability to draw together varied resources, and the innovative means used to solve these problems.

The award is presented annually and the winner receives a stipend of $2,000.  An individual may only be awarded this recognition one time.
