<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Senators from each department will submit a ballot listing one and only one nominee for each award. A copy of the ballot is attached to this e-mail for the purpose of illustration. Faculty can self-nominate
by notifying their department’s Senator. Faculty can also nominate a colleague in their department by notifying their department’s Senator. If more than one individual is nominated for a particular award from the same department, the department should reach
consensus on which faculty member’s nomination will go forward. The Senate encourages all faculty within a department to talk with each other to determine who should be nominated for a particular award. Your department’s senator will submit your department’s
nomination form to the chair of the Faculty Senate awards committee. Nominations should include the full names of the nominees, the nominees’ academic department, and their full e-mail addresses. The nomination deadline is the third Friday in November,

Tuesday in December (<b><span style="color:red">December 11, 2018</span></b><span style="color:red">)</span>. If you were nominated for an award and have not received contact from the awards chair by this deadline, contact the awards chair to ensure that the
nomination was received. The awards chair will ask each nominee to provide supporting documentation for the committee’s review. The material should be submitted via e-mail to
</span> <b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:red">Faculty.Awards@tamuc.edu</span></b><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> by the deadline of the first Tuesday in February (<b><span style="color:red">February 5, 2019</span></b><span style="color:red">)</span>.
The awards committee members will review each application packet and after careful deliberation, the committee will make one recommendation per award (except the Barrus award which can have up to three awards) to the full Faculty Senate for approval at the
April Senate meeting (first Tuesday in April, <b><span style="color:red">April 2, 2019</span></b><span style="color:black">).<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
