The deadline for nominations for the Scholarship of Engagement Award is Monday, October 15. This new, campus-wide award will honor tenured faculty whose scholarship has made significant contributions toward identifying or addressing issues of public concern. The award will provide the honoree with a $5,000 faculty development grant to support outreach projects.

Nominations are invited from a nominee’s department head or dean. Guidelines for preparing a nominee’s dossier are available at outreach.uga.edu/publications/soe-award-guidelines. Up to one Scholarship of Engagement Award, which is funded by the Office of the Vice President for Public Service and Outreach, will be presented on February 14, 2008, at the Annual Public Service and Outreach Meeting and Awards Luncheon.
