Nomination and Selection Process
Nominations, limited to full-time faculty, will originate with department heads and will be forwarded to the appropriate dean. Student and faculty input will be solicited in this process. By the end of spring semester, the deans of each of the five schools/colleges (Graduate, Computing, Education, Health Professions, and Arts & Sciences) as well as the Vice President for Student Affairs will each name up to two nominees. With the exception of the Graduate School, the nominees should come from faculty within the respective colleges. Because of the mission of the Graduate School, nominees may come from any of the three colleges or one school.   Deans are encouraged to involve faculty and students in the selection of their nominees. After the beginning of fall semester, the awards committee of the student senate will gather information about the nominees. Using a uniform presentation process, each of the nominees will be presented to the senate and executive officers by a student. The senate and officers will vote by secret ballot, with a simple majority deciding the winner. Votes will be tallied by the President of the Senate, the Secretary of SGA, and the Advisor to SGA.
