Dear Chair,



The CHASS Executive Committee is announcing three CHASS Faculty Awards. The
awards are the CHASS Teaching Award, the CHASS Faculty Award for Civic
Engagement, and the CHASS Distinguished Research Lecturer Award. They can
be found by going to: 2023-24 CHASS Faculty Awards | College of Humanities,
Arts, and Social Sciences (ucr.edu)
<https://chass.ucr.edu/press/2024/03/20/2023-24-chass-faculty-awards>. Here
are brief blurbs on each award:



*CHASS Teaching Award*



The College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences invites nominations
for the 2023-24 CHASS Teaching Award. The award is made annually to
recognize outstanding achievement in teaching by a faculty member of the
College.



Nominees should be senior faculty members whose teaching is of such quality
that it merits recognition and award. We are looking for an exceptional
teacher who thoroughly stimulates and engage students in the classroom and
contributes to the growth of teaching excellence in the College and across
UCR.



*Deadline for Nomination Packets: * April 22, 2024



*Nominations*

A faculty member may be nominated by individual students and faculty, or by
her or his own department or program. Initial nominations should include a
formal letter of nomination explaining the nominee’s qualifications, the
nominator’s name, and contact information.



Once the nomination is approved to move forward in the review process, the
nominator will need to create a complete nomination package. This includes
the following:

   1. Two or more individual letters of support, with at least one from
   faculty and one from a student.
   2. At least two years of teaching evaluations and other supporting
   materials.



**Note: departments/programs may submit full nomination packets that are
not preceded by individual nominations.



All documents should be collated into a single PDF file consisting of no
more than 25 pages.



Please send the CHASS Teaching Award nomination packet PDF to Gabrielle
Brewer via email: gabrielle.brewer at ucr.edu



*Eligibility*

Nominees must teach in CHASS and be current members of the Academic Senate.
Only senior faculty members are eligible for the award. Previous awardees
are not eligible.



Nominations can be carried over for only one year but have to be
re-submitted.

Winners will be recognized during the CHASS Fall reception.





*CHASS Faculty Award for Civic Engagement*





The College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences invites nominations
for the 2023-24 Faculty Award for Civic Engagement. The award recognizes
those faculty members that make outstanding efforts to reach beyond the
campus and contribute in meaningful ways to the greater social good. It
also recognizes faculty who work to bring community and university together
in meaningful ways. Faculty may be nominated for outstanding individual
instances of civic engagement, or for a distinguished record of activities.
Civic engagement may take place at the local, regional, national, or global
levels, but must include a significant interface with/service to the
non-university public (this is not an award for university service). While
such engagement may involve significant visibility, it may also take form
in behind-the-scenes work that is vital to civil society. The awardee
receives formal recognition of her or his achievement by the College.



Nominees should be senate faculty at any rank whose civic engagement is of
a quality and level of commitment that merits recognition. We are looking
for individuals whose investment is distinct and meaningful, exemplifying
the ideal of university faculty as scholars, teachers, and active citizens.



*Deadline for Nominations:*  April 22, 2024

   faculty and one from community members, programs, and institutions.
   2. Supporting materials that demonstrate the nominee’s outstanding
   achievements in civic engagement, community service and outreach.



All documents should be collated into a single PDF file consisting of no
more than 25 pages.

*CHASS Distinguished Research Lecturer Award*



We invite any member of the UCR Academic Senate, including department
