Regents' Award for Distinguished Public Service

In June of 1990 the Regents supported a recommendation of the Senate Advisory Committee on University Affairs (SACUA) and established the "Regents' Award for Distinguished Public Service" to honor extraordinary distinction in public service by members of the University faculty. We request nominations of faculty members deserving recognition for their contributions in this area. All members of the University Senate (assistant, associate, and full professors, research scientists, and librarians who are Senate members) are eligible for consideration.
The award is to recognize public service activities that relate closely to teaching and research and reflect professional and academic expertise. The service activities may occur outside the University in local, state, national or international arenas.
To assist SACUA in the selection of the award recipient we request that you submit a short statement describing the nominee's service to faculty governance and details of any accomplishments related to that service. Please send nominations, supporting statements, and the names, titles, and addresses of both nominee and the nominator to facultysenateoffice@umich.edu by April 30, 2013.
If you have any questions about the award or the nomination process, please contact the Faculty Senate Office at 764-0303. Thank you for your participation.
The deadline for submission of the Awards Nomination is April 20, 2013.
