In June 0f 1990 the Regents supported a recommendation of the Senate Advisory Committee on University Affairs (SACUA) and established the "Regents' Award for Distinguished Public Service" to honor extraordinary distinction in public service by members of the University faculty. We request nominations of faculty members deserving recognition for their contributions in this area. All members of the University Senate (assistant, associate, and full professors, research scientists, and librarians who are Senate members) are eligible for consideration.
The award is to recognize public service activities that relate closely to teaching and research and reflect professional and academic expertise. The service activities may occur outside the University in local, state, national or international arenas.
