Faculty Awards

Academic Affairs seeks nominations for the following academic awards for the upcoming year:

• The Mines Teaching Award (Teaching Faculty)
• The Mines Teaching Award (Tenured or Tenure-Track faculty)
• The Board of Trustees’ Outstanding Faculty Award
• The Alfred E. Jenni Teaching Fellowship
• Faculty Excellence Award
• W.M. Keck Mentorship Awards
• Excellence in Research Awards (Junior and Senior Faculty)

Anyone may nominate a faculty member. To do so, submit a 1-2 page memo to Academic Affairs, which includes

• Name of the nominee and department/division
• Which of the awards above you are nominating the candidate for
• Why the individual’s profile/accomplishments fit the award and what kind of data would be supplied to support the nomination, if a full dossier is requested by the Faculty Awards Committee.
• Candidate CV (in addition to the 1-2 page memo)

Nominations are due to Academic Affairs generally by mid-December.

Information on the awards can be found in Section 8 of the Academic Affairs Procedures Manual. Once received, the Faculty Awards committee will review the 1-2 page nominations and decide if a full dossier will be requested of the nominee’s department head/division director. Dossiers for each award should then be submitted to Academic Affairs (date to be determined).
