SUBJECT: Call for Nominations:  Chancellor's Achievement Awards for 
Diversity and Community

Nominations are being requested to help identify individuals deserving 
special recognition through a campus-wide award program.  The 
Chancellor's Achievement Awards for Diversity and Community was 
established to honor achievements that contribute in substantial ways 
to the development and well-being of our diverse and evolving community.  
UC Davis faculty, staff, and students, and local community members are 
eligible for an award in any of the following categories:

* Exemplary service that embodies the Principles of Community through 
outstanding leadership in areas of social and/or cultural understanding, 
local or regional community involvement, and/or collaborations leading 
to increased knowledge or expertise in areas of special interest to the 
campus.

* Outstanding efforts toward achieving and/or advancing a diverse and 
principled academic community, including exemplary service in the areas 
of student, staff, and faculty recruitment and development.

* Exemplary scholarship having a major impact on community and diversity.

* Exemplary contributions to the success of campus-based outreach efforts.

* Exemplary service to the campus and/or community through active 
leadership, involvement in pre-college partnership initiatives, etc.

Selection factors will include, but not be limited to:  relative impact 
of each nominee's contribution to diversity and community for the campus 
and/or community as a whole; relative merit of contribution to a critical 
area of diversity and/or community; length/duration of contribution; and 
potential of award to model exemplary service for others (for example, 
increasing the pool of diverse applicants among student, staff, and faculty 
ranks; increasing understanding of the role of diversity in education; 
service and commitment toward building campus-local community relationships; 
or introducing diversity and community-related curricula in subject areas 
where such material is not normally featured).

All members of the UC Davis community are eligible for nomination.  Six 
awards are available, one to a member of each of the following
constituencies:  Academic Senate, Academic Federation, staff, graduate 
students, undergraduate students, and members of the local community.  The 
award process will consist of a nomination component, a selection component, 
and a special awards reception to be held on January 24, 2006, at the 
Chancellor's Residence.  A monetary prize will accompany receipt of the award.

The nomination form is attached in a pdf file format.  Completed nomination 
forms and any optional supporting documents should be submitted to Tammy McNiff, 
Program and Business Manager, Office of Campus Community Relations,
412 Mrak Hall, no later than November 14, 2005.
