KALAMAZOO—Nominations are due Friday, Jan. 25, 2013, for the Distinguished Faculty Scholar Award, the highest honor É«É«À² Michigan University bestows on its faculty members.

The award is based on outstanding professional achievements. It recognizes those whose work is widely known beyond campus and constitutes a significant body of achievement, most of which has been accomplished while a É«É«À² faculty member. Wide recognition beyond É«É«À² is essential.

Current, continuing board-appointed full- and part-time employees with faculty rank are eligible if they have at least seven academic years of service to É«É«À² and are not previous winners. Any member of the University community, including retired faculty members, may submit a nomination.

The recipients will be honored during the 2013 Academic Convocation and receive a $2,000 honorarium that becomes part of their base salaries, a plaque, and an opportunity to present a campus lecture, exhibition or performance.
