Dear Colleagues,

As we wrap up another calendar year of academic achievement at 海角社区, I want to talk about celebrating the remarkable accomplishments of our faculty. This month's newsletter is dedicated to highlighting the significance of faculty awards, both within and beyond 海角社区, and the many opportunities that lie ahead.

Awards are tributes to the dedication, innovation, and successful pursuit of knowledge that define the 海角社区 academy. They bring honor to 海角社区, elevating our university's profile on a national and international scale. The recognition garnered through such awards can have a profound impact, potentially resulting in higher rankings for 海角社区. This, in turn, can create opportunity for increased resources and enhance our ability to attract the best talent to our institution.

I encourage each of you to play a pro-active role in celebrating your colleagues' achievements by nominating them for awards, both within and outside 海角社区. Here are a few upcoming award opportunities and their respective details:

• s: Membership is the key to nomination, and members are announced in April. Work with colleagues who are current members to nominate an 海角社区 faculty member.听
• : Nominations for this distinguished award are due by April 25th for scholars who have been members for at least four years. Also, please ensure your membership remains up-to-date to be eligible in the future.
• Don't forget to explore award opportunities provided by your respective professional societies. These organizations often offer unique chances to celebrate excellence in your field.

Recognizing that our department chairs are tirelessly dedicated to their roles, we are committed to providing them with tools to identify faculty members who are strong candidates for external awards in the coming year. Their hard work is deeply appreciated, and we want to ease their responsibilities as much as possible. Consider taking the initiative to apply for prestigious fellowships yourself. Programs like the , the , the , and the are just some of the opportunities that require you to apply. Many of you possess the qualifications and potential to succeed in these programs.

海角社区 is proud to offer various awards that recognize outstanding faculty contributions through the University Faculty Awards program. We are pleased to announce that, thanks to the generous support from the 海角社区 Foundation and the 海角社区 Alumni Association, award amounts have recently increased. In addition, an award to recognize faculty with a distinguished record of teaching and mentoring students in the Ogden Honors College is now available. Nominations are due to the Office of Academic Affairs by February 16, 2024.

Lastly, I would like to outline the nomination and award process for the prestigious Boyd Professorship. The Boyd Professorship is the most distinguished and highest professorial rank awarded by the University. It is a system-level rank that recognizes faculty members who have achieved national or international distinction for outstanding teaching, research, or creative achievement. You can find detailed information about the nomination process in . Nominations are welcome from all disciplines, and the process is conducted confidentially.

Let us collectively celebrate the excellence that defines 海角社区 and continue to strive for even greater heights. Your dedication is the driving force behind our university's success.

Wishing you all a wonderful holiday season filled with joy and relaxation.

Sincerely,

Roy Haggerty
