Tips for Nominators (Academies of Faculty Service and Leadership)

Based on feedback from several years of conversation with nomination review committees, we've put together some tips for a successful package, for nominators to consider as they put together nomination materials.

• The nominator statement should be written with the same care and thoroughness as a letter of endorsement—fully communicating how the criteria for selection are met by the individual being nominated
• Nominators and those providing letters of endorsement should provide detailed examples of how each criterion has been met by the nominee
• Specific attention should be given to providing explicit information as to the impact of the nominee's contributions in the university community 
  • Give thought to the scope of impact (who, where?)
    
  • Give thought to the importance of the contribution to the university community (why?)
• At least one of these letters should be from someone in an administrative role or recently retired from an administrative role. 
• If nominating an individual for BOTH academies: 
  • The nominator should submit separate descriptions for each academy nomination in the survey. The criteria for each academy are different, so the nomination descriptions should be customized for each academy. 
  • If using the same letter for nomination to both academies, all criteria must be described in each letter.
