Excellence in Service Awards

The College of Arts and Sciences values our faculty members’ outstanding service and leadership contribution in various areas of focus: College, University, community, and professional organizations. The CAS Outstanding Service Award was initiated in 2004. Peer and self-nominations are solicited from College of Arts and Sciences faculty and selections are made on the basis of the quality of the materials submitted. Since 2018, only one outstanding service award has been given by the College.
