- Recipients in the past five years of the Distinguished Professor Award are not eligible.
Criteria for the Distinguished Professor Award
The candidate must show demonstrated distinguished achievement in teaching, scholarship, and service, both separately and in an integrative manner, and must have been awarded formal and documented recognition in his or her area of academic specialization on a national or international level. Although extraordinary performance in only one of these three areas may be present, no nominee will be selected who has not also demonstrated distinguished performance in the other two areas.
Teaching:
Documentation might include student and peer evaluations of classroom teaching, peer
evaluation of instructional materials, documented evidence of innovative curriculum,
methods, and technologies, and both 成人直播 and external recognitions for outstanding
teaching (e.g., awards, invitations to conduct workshops or make presentations). Documentation
should preferably include internal and external peer-reviewed presentations or publications
on innovative teaching.
Scholarship:
Applicants should have developed a substantial body of scholarship in their area of
academic specialization. A nominee's scholarship may be collaborative, but his or
her contribution must be clear and substantial. The scholarship may include refereed
and invited publications, grants for the support of scholarship, invited and contributed
presentations, exhibitions of creative work, inventions and patents, published software,
etc. Further, the impact of the scholarship at a national or international level must
be documented (e.g., awards, invited conference presentations or exhibitions, evidence
of citations of and references to the nominee's work by others).
Service:
Service must evidence breadth beyond simply campus-based service. Service might include
some combination of long-term institutional contributions and leadership at the departmental,
college, and university-wide levels as well as service at the national or international
level (e.g., holding offices in professional organizations, editing national and/or
international journals, reviewing for professional journals, participation on committees
in professional organizations, or volunteer work directly related to one's professional
expertise). Nominees should document the impact and innovations of service at the
institutional and national or international level (e.g., new policies or procedures
adopted by a professional organization; new programs such as conferences or workshops,
including evidence of their success).
Integration of Teaching, Research, and Service:
The applicant must address the innovative ways that he or she integrates teaching,
scholarship, and service into his or her overall performance as a distinguished professor
at the senior rank. Specific examples that illustrate such integration should be included
(e.g., publications, materials that are developed and used for scholarship, teaching,
and service). For example, a nominee may have adapted and incorporated information
originally developed through his or her scholarship into both classroom teaching (e.g.,
an instructional module) and service (e.g., presentations to community or professional
groups, consultation).
