February 27, 2017 - March 24, 2017
The Office of Faculty Governance, on behalf of the Committee on Honorary Degrees and Special Awards, is now accepting nominations for the university’s 2017 Thomas Jefferson Award.
This award, established in 1961, is given annually to “that member of the academic community who through personal influence and performance of duty in teaching, writing, and scholarship has best exemplified the ideals and objectives of Thomas Jefferson.” Any active member of the faculty is eligible, including those participating in the phased-retirement program.
Full information about the award (including criteria, eligibility, a list of past recipients, and directions for how to submit a nomination) is available here on the Faculty Governance website.
The deadline for nominations is March 24, 2017. The award will be presented at the September, 2017 Faculty Council meeting.
