Process
  • The GTA Excellence in Teaching Award requires nomination materials to be submitted all at once by the initial deadline.
  • Longlist nominations for Distinguished Faculty Awards require only a CV and a brief rationale, not a chair’s letter.
  • Nominations for other, non-DFA faculty and staff awards require only a brief rationale.
  • Committees will create short lists from those materials and follow up with nominators to obtain additional materials, e.g., a letter from the chair, which are needed for the university-wide awards.
Timeline
  • 5 weeks for longlist nominations: November 1 – December 6, 2023  Extended to Wed., December 13, 2023
  • 6 weeks for committees to request further information from nominees on their shortlists: December 7, 2022 – January 18, 2024
  • 3 weeks for committees to convene and choose winners: January 19 – February 9, 2024
  • 4 days’ grace period for committees to finalize selections and for forwarding DFA winners to university-wide awards, due February 15
