Any UCLA faculty member may nominate a colleague but self-nominations are prohibited. The deadline for receipt of the forms and supporting material is January 31, 1998. The nomination letter to faculty members follows. The Prize recognizes and rewards faculty members at UCLA who have demonstrated extraordinary accomplishment in teaching and in research or creative activity, together with an appropriate level of public service within the University. One Prize is awarded biennially and is funded from the interest earned on the endowment.
Equal weight is given to each.
Adequate service to the University is also a requirement. Obviously, while the University has a number of extraordinary researchers, not many of these are considered also to be outstanding teachers. Forms are available in the Academic Senate Office for your use in nominating a qualified candidate to be considered by the selection committee. There is no doubt that this important Prize will further symbolize the faculty's and the donor's commitment to encouragement of the highest standards of teaching and inquiry. Your nominations are most warmly encouraged.
