Award for Excellence in Leadership

The Award for Excellence in Leadership honors a woman whose academic leadership has made a significant contribution to her profession. Nominations are sought for women who have had a faculty role at ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ, have been employed by the University for ten or more years, and are role models for academic leaders. Potential areas of leadership could include but are not limited to: administration at the University, school, and division levels; offices in professional organizations and academic societies; leadership in civic and service organizations; and leadership in the areas of scholarship, teaching, and university service. The awardee is honored at the annual Women in Leadership Banquet, which is held on the ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ campus each spring.

Selection Process

On behalf of the provost, the Seaver College Committee for Women Faculty makes up the selection committee. Each fall, this Committee sends out a call for nominations to the entire University. The Committee carefully reads letters of recommendation as well as other supporting materials in the winter, including those for previously nominated candidates. The Committee announces the winner in early spring.
