Macebearer Award

The Mace is symbolic of the member's exemplary service to the University, its students, and greater society. The faculty member designated as Macebearer is usually one who has exhibited a longstanding commitment and service to the University community.

Nominations are submitted by collegiate deans and consist of a current curriculum vitae and a letter that clearly states how the nominee meets the criteria for the award, i.e., a demonstrated record of service and longstanding commitment to the University community. Outside letters of support are not needed. Due to disparate numbers of faculty in the various colleges, the number of nominations from the units has been differentiated. The College of Arts and Sciences may submit up to five nominations, the College of Education, Health, and Human Sciences may submit up to three nominations, the Colleges of Business Administration and Engineering may submit up to two nominations, and all other colleges may submit one nomination.

Please forward nominations to the Office of the Provost, 527 Andy Holt Tower, 0152, no later than the first Monday in February. The nominations will be reviewed by a Selection Committee which will make its recommendation to the Chancellor.

There are no forms associated with the Macebearer Award.
