Provost Awards for Exemplary Faculty Service
Faculty service is integral to faculty governance and excellence at Northwestern, yet is often performed without formal recognition or reward. The Office of the Provost seeks nominations of faculty members who provide outstanding service to Northwestern University or significant contributions to their unit. These faculty are exemplars of academic good citizenship.
Nominations should clearly demonstrate how the faculty member has gone above and beyond in service that has had a substantial impact on students, faculty, and/or the University, and that has significantly enhanced the quality of Northwestern as an educational institution and community of scholars. Faculty should demonstrate a record of multiple service activities or a single, major activity, over a sustained period.
Please visit the About Page to learn more about the award and nomination process and to access the on-line nomination form. Nominations for the 2019-2020 awards are due on November 1, 2019.
