Adjunct Faculty Service Award

• Adjunct faculty who have taught at SPS for at least three semesters in the past three academic years are eligible to be nominated.
• Faculty cannot receive more than one award in a single academic year.
• Faculty members can receive awards multiple times throughout their teaching at SPS, but the time elapsed between receiving the same award must be greater than five years.
  

1. The Office of Faculty Affairs (OFA) solicits nominations from SPS students, faculty, and staff.
2. The OFA conducts an eligibility review of all nominees and sends a comprehensive list of nominated faculty members to the academic units.
3. Associate deans and/or academic directors review the list of nominees and prepare a letter of support for the faculty member they wish to endorse for an award. Associate deans and/or academic directors should review documents with evidence relevant to the final selection such as student evaluations, classroom observations, annual activity reports, and other evaluative measures that support each nominee prior to making the final selection.
4. Statements of support are returned to the OFA. The OFA conducts an initial review of the completed nomination packets before forwarding to the SPS Dean.
5. The SPS Dean conducts a final review of submissions to confirm one (1) individual from among the nominees to receive the award. Award recipient is notified.
