In 1989, the University of Louisville Board of Trustees established the Trustees Award to recognize faculty (full- or part-time; undergraduate, graduate or professional; or groups of faculty) who have made an impact on students.
The recipient of the award receives $5,000 cash and a commemorative plaque, to be presented at commencement ceremonies in May. A plaque will also be placed in the Student Activities Center in recognition of the recipient. The cash award is provided through personal gifts to the University of Louisville Foundation, Inc.
All faculty are eligible to receive the award, and nominations are accepted from any member of the university community, including faculty, students, staff, administrators and Trustees. Self-nominations are not allowed.
In order to nominate someone for the Trustees Award, a nomination form must be filled out and turned in with a letter outlining the qualifications and explaining the contributions of the nominee. The deadline for nomination submission is Friday, Feb. 25.
Nominations should be submitted to the Trustees Award Committee, Board of Trustees, University of Louisville, 102 Grawemeyer Hall, Belknap Campus, Louisville, KY 40292.
The Trustees Award Committee consists of Trustees, faculty, staff, students and the President or his designee. The group will consider all nominations and will submit its recommendation to the board for approval.
