Nominations sought for University Distinguished Professorship
The University Distinguished Professorship program is designed to recognize faculty members who have served the University with distinction and have compiled an outstanding record of achievement in teaching, research, and service. By providing additional support for their work, the program seeks to enable recipients to pursue more professional opportunities and to increase the leadership role of these faculty at WKU. Faculty may be nominated for a University Distinguished Professorship by a faculty member, department head/chair/director, dean, or self-nomination. Nominations should be submitted to the Office of the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs and include the following information: Name of Nominee; Nominee’s Home Department; Nominee’s e-mail address; and a brief summary of why you feel the nominee should be considered for a University Distinguished Professorship. For additional details, visit the Policy on University Distinguished Professor Selection & Appointment. Nomination deadline is Sept. 1.
The Office of the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs invites the campus community to submit nominations for recipients of honorary degrees. Nominations may be made by students, faculty, staff, administration, alumni, or friends of the University. For guidance, refer to the Policy on Honorary Degrees. Nomination deadline is Sept. 10.
