Nominations are being accepted for the 2000 Chancellors Club Career Teaching Award. To be eligible for consideration, the faculty member should be within five years of intended retirement from the university. Nominations are invited from students, faculty, staff and alumni. The deadline for nomination letters is May 30. If nominations from last year are still on file, they can be reactivated by a letter of request to the provost's office and any new supporting material can be added.
All nominations are confidential.
Hemenway also presented the keynote address at the department's annual awards and recognition program. The chancellor earned his doctoral degree in English at Kent State in 1966 when he was 24. Hemenway is nationally recognized for his biography of Zora Neale Hurston, a novelist, anthropologist and folklorist. In 1991, a reprint was included as a Quality Paperback Book Club selection. While at Kent State, Hemenway was a guest at a dinner hosted by Kent State President Carol Cartwright.
