CAS award nominations still open; final deadline Jan. 30

Nominations are open through Friday, Jan. 30, 5:00 p.m., for awards to honor the exemplary work of CAS faculty, staff, and graduate students in a variety of scholarly, research, creative, and service areas. The nomination deadline was extended to allow for addition of the new Peer Mentoring Award.

All faculty and staff are encouraged to nominate colleagues whose work deserves recognition at the 2015 College of Arts and Sciences Appreciation and Recognition Social in April.

Simply complete the nomination form and send it to your nominee’s academic chair or director for consideration. Chairs and directors will forward approved nominations to the CAS awards committee. Each unit may submit up to two names for each award.

We look forward to celebrating the outstanding accomplishments of the CAS community with you. Nominate a deserving person today!
