About the Award

The Outstanding Service Award recognizes outstanding participation, leadership (formal or informal), and achievement in this pillar of academic life. For purposes of this award, service refers principally to contributions to the University’s governance and functioning at the level of the Department, School, Faculty, University, or Faculty Association, and also includes outreach beyond the university.

However, service which has been remunerated or for which course release has been provided will not be weighted as heavily as service which has not been similarly acknowledged. Service does not refer to professional service contributions which are part of regular duties.
