College of Health and Human Sciences Faculty and Staff Award Information

College faculty and staff awards are given to honor outstanding faculty and staff in the College of Health and Human Sciences.

Nomination process. Each department/school/unit’s Honors and Awards Committee nominates faculty and staff for awards. Staff members not associated with an academic department may be nominated either by a committee or by individual faculty or staff members. For those nominees with a department/school/unit Honors and Awards Committee, the Committee works in collaboration with the nominee to prepare the nomination packet and route through the appropriate representative on the College Honors and Awards committee for review. A full nomination packet must be submitted for the nominee to be considered by the College Honors and Awards Committee. More specific instructions are included with each award.

Selection process. The College Honors and Awards Committee reviews the materials and makes award recommendations, which it submits to the Dean for final approval. The College Honors and Awards Committee reserves the right to not recommend any nominee for an award.
