Student Awards
Student awards are presented at the annual Honors Convocation, which occurs in April each year. Department chairs are expected to provide information on all award recipients on the appropriate form. The task of coordinating awards may be assigned to a member of the department.

Among the College-wide awards is the Sheslow Award for Leadership and Achievement; students having completed their junior year in pursuit of a B.A., B.S., or B.F.A. degree are eligible. Chairs are asked to nominate outstanding students as prospective recipients.

The Edward C. Truman Award in the Humanities is another extra-departmental award; it is administered by the Humanities Center.

Faculty Awards
The Centennial Scholar Award is presented in even-numbered years to a faculty member in the College in recognition of distinguished achievements in scholarship. The guidelines are in the Faculty Policies Handbook.

Additionally, a Teacher of the Year is honored annually. Student and faculty nominations are solicited during the Spring semester. The selection is made by a committee composed of previous winners.

The Stalnaker Lecture Award is presented to a distinguished faculty member who is invited to present a lecture to the University community on a topic in his or her discipline in September or October.

Chair involvement in nominations of candidates for student awards, such as the Sheslow Award, is important. Appropriate forms are distributed at the time of the call for nominations.
