Consideration for this award shall be given to outstanding faculty members in the College of Health and Human Development, or successor academic unit who:
- will have been in the College of Health and Human Development no longer than 10 years and
- will not yet have attained the highest faculty rank (e.g., Professor, Teaching Professor, and Research Professor).
Academic excellence refers to outstanding accomplishments in the domains of performance expected of the faculty member's position.
- For a tenure track faculty member, the focus would be on individuals who combine excellent research with strong teaching (both inside and outside the classroom) and a high level of commitment to service and/or outreach.
- For a non-tenure track faculty member, the focus would be on the primary area of responsibility (i.e., excellent teaching or excellent research), coupled with a high level of commitment to service and/or outreach.
Each award shall be for one academic year. Further extraordinary accomplishments by a recipient may enable that recipient to be again considered for this award during their eligibility period.
