Call for nominations: AHS awards and recognition programs
The AHS Executive Committee is pleased to request nominations for the 2023 AHS College Awards. Additionally, we wish to notify you about the 2023 UIC awards and recognition programs. These are two distinct award programs open to those in our college. We are encouraging units to begin compiling nominations as soon as possible.
For the AHS College Awards, there are currently six awards pertinent to this announcement: Community Partner Award, Educator of the Year Award, Humanitarian of the Year Award, Outstanding Academic Leadership Award, Professor of the Year Award, and Researcher of the Year Award. Nomination guidelines and a list of former award recipients are available on Inside AHS.
The executive committee will again serve as the AHS College Awards selection body with responsibility of selecting award recipients. The AHS Staff Award of Merit nomination process is overseen by the AHS Staff Council.
AHS College Awards nominations are due no later than 5 p.m., Wednesday, Feb. 1 and should be sent electronically to Joelle Lantz at jclantz@uic.edu. Some award nominations require as little as a one-two page statement describing the nominee’s qualifications. Self-nominations are encouraged in addition to the nominations of your colleagues. Questions regarding the nominating process may be directed to rtaylor@uic.edu.
The nominations deadline for the university-level awards is set by the Office of the Vice Provost for Faculty Affairs upon formal announcement to the campus later this semester. Nomination information about university-level awards is available online. Please note that details about these requirements could be subject to change, depending upon campus-level faculty awards committee recommendations. However, major criteria are unlikely to change, so please do not hesitate to get started on these as well.
On behalf of the AHS Executive Committee, I want to thank you in advance for nominating deserving individuals and organizations for these awards.
