UC DAVIS: ACADEMIC SENATE November 1, 2002 MEMORANDUM TO: Deans, Directors and Department Chairpersons FROM: Margaret Johns, Chair - Academic Senate Committee on Public Service RE: 2002-03 Distinguished Scholarly Public Service Award Attached is the Call for the 2002-03 Distinguished Scholarly Public Service Award. I would very much appreciate it if you would PLEASE POST the colored flier that you'll be receiving in the next few days in a visible location in your department and seek out worthy candidates to nominate. This Award will be presented by the Davis Division of the Academic Senate to up to 4 deserving faculty members who have made significant contributions to the world, nation, state and community through distinguished scholarly public service. In addition to the extraordinarily long term of service, the committee is very interested in reviewing what a newer faculty member may have done in a relatively short period of time. The recipient(s) will receive a stipend. I have included a copy of the official Call for Nominations with this memo, which has been mailed to each faculty member under separate cover. The Call for Nominations is also available on the Academic Senate web page http://www.mrak.ucdavis.edu/senate/committee_ps.htm and on the Directives page at http://directives.ucdavis.edu. Please note that the deadline for receipt of nominations is Monday, January 26, 2003. If you have questions or need additional information, please feel free to call Kathy von Rummelhoff at 752-3920. We expect to assemble a strong group of candidates from our public service-minded faculty, but your help is earnestly solicited. Thank you for your assistance. ksv 2002-2003 DISTINGUISHED SCHOLARLY PUBLIC SERVICE AWARD CALL FOR NOMINATIONS The Davis Division of the Academic Senate invites nominations of candidates for the 2002-03 Award for Distinguished Scholarly Public Service. Up to four (4) awards will be made annually. All tenured members of the Academic Senate (including Professors-in-Residence and Professors of Clinical (Specialty) at the level of Associate Professor or higher, and Lecturers with Security of Employment), provided they have not previously won the award, are eligible for nomination by other members of the Academic Senate. Description: The Award, which includes a stipend, is presented by the Davis Division of the Academic Senate in recognition of significant contributions to the world, nation, state and community through distinguished public service. The Distinguished Scholarly Public Service Award is based on our confidence in the University's tradition of excellence and demonstrates the commitment of the Davis campus to public service. Definition: Scholarly public service is organized activity that extends a faculty member's expertise in teaching, research or professional competence beyond the university campus into local, statewide, national, or international public arenas. For purposes of this Award, distinguished public service is the unpaid, focused and sustained direct extension of a faculty member's disciplinary or technical expertise to the public and non-profit sector. Service resulting in significant monetary gain (private consulting) is not considered public service, nor is service performed as a private citizen (membership in local service clubs) or as an elected public official (city council). The candidate's public service while employed elsewhere will be considered, but the extent of public service while a faculty member at UC Davis will be a significant factor in the evaluation. As criteria for this award, public service can include these activities: 1. Testifying before international, federal, state or local legislative, executive or judicial hearings, meetings, boards or commissions. 2. Consultations, advice and recommendations to government boards, commissions or agencies. 3. Membership on boards, commissions or special committees of international, federal, state or local bodies. 4. Research for or collaboration with public agencies, commissions, boards, task forces or committees. 5. Service to community groups, nonprofit organizations and the general public in meetings, workshops, and conferences, including presentations to these, or through the media. 6. Development and dissemination of information of state, national and/or international importance through the production of non-profit documentary videos or film. The departmental MSO/Administrative Assistant or Chairperson can usually supply information related to a candidate's public service record. Nominations: Nominations should be in the form of a letter (not to exceed two single-spaced, typewritten pages) providing a comprehensive summary of the qualities and accomplishments that would warrant the candidate to be considered for the Award. The letter should focus on the scope and impact of the public service efforts and should detail the special characteristics that extend the nominee's expertise and set him/her apart from other faculty such as their philosophy, objectives, or impact of effort. If service did result in gain, please describe. The committee considers nominations with long-term as well as short-term distinguished scholarly public service. The nominator should insure that documentary evidence is available; however, supporting material should not be attached to this nomination. Finalists: The Academic Senate Committee on Public Service will review the nominations and select final candidates for further consideration. A more complete dossier for each finalist will be requested from the nominator for review by the Committee. Deadline: All letters must be received before 5:00 p.m. by Monday, January 6, 2003. Nominations should be addressed to The Committee on Public Service, Academic Senate Office, 356 Mrak Hall, Attn: Kathy von Rummelhoff. Questions concerning nominations should be addressed to Kathy von Rummelhoff at (530) 752-3920. 02-152
