Nomination window opens for 2025 university awards

The nomination window is open for the 2025 university awards honoring faculty and staff.

Although some of the 32 different awards allow for direct nomination, many nominations route through the academic colleges. All nominations are due Feb. 10, 2025, to the office of the senior vice president and provost via electronic submission. Programs, departments, colleges and units set earlier deadlines as part of their internal review process. College deadlines are listed online, and these two websites provide information about the awards and criteria:
