UC DAVIS: ACADEMIC SENATE
December 18, 2003
DEANS, DIRECTORS, AND DEPARTMENT CHAIRPERSONS
FROM: W. Jeffrey Weidner, Chair
Academic Senate Committee on Public Service
RE: 2003-04 Distinguished Scholarly Public Service Award
Attached is the Call for the 2003-04 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.
Please note that the deadline for receipt of nominations is Tuesday,
January 20, 2004. If you have questions or need additional
information, please feel free to call Kathy von Rummelhoff at
(530) 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.

2003-2004 DISTINGUISHED SCHOLARLY PUBLIC SERVICE AWARD CALL FOR
NOMINATIONS
The Davis Division of the Academic Senate invites nominations of
candidates for the 2003-04 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 scholarly 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 scholarly 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 Tuesday,
January 20, 2004. 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.
