Faculty Awards are presented each year to a select group of CSUDH faculty members, in recognition of outstanding achievement in a variety of areas. Specific guidelines govern each award; nominations must conform to them. You can find the eligibility requirements, award criteria, and nominating procedure for each award by clicking on the appropriate faculty awards below.
Policy and Procedures
A faculty member who is nominated for any of these awards is strongly encouraged to submit a mini-file of supporting material (e.g., letters from colleagues and students, PTE evaluations, course materials). Minimally, the faculty member must submit a memorandum extending permission for members of the Leaves and Honors Committee to review his/her Personnel Action File. In the past the Committee has expressed a strong preference for reviewing mini-files that specifically address the criteria for an award. Several years ago, in its annual report to the Academic Senate, the Committee noted, “When other nominees take the trouble to put together thoughtfully prepared mini-files, it is unlikely that the nominee who merely signs a release for access to the RTP file will be a serious contender for the award.”
