University Research Awards

President's Distinguished Scholar
    The President's Distinguished Scholar Award was first conferred in 1989. All unclassified employees of the university are eligible for consideration and are evaluated for this honor by analysis of their performance in the categories of research/creative activities, service, and instruction. Acceptable levels of performance must be demonstrated in service and instruction, with the primary focus of this award on research/creative activities.
    An evaluation committee reviews applications and a recommendation is forwarded to the president. The committee is composed of a maximum of five previous award recipients. The provost serves as chair of the committee and is responsible for administration of the award process.
