We are pleased to solicit nominations for the 2008 Chancellors Club Career Teaching Award, which is made possible through funds provided to the KU Endowment Association by members of the Chancellors Club at the University of Kansas. Organized in 1977, the Chancellors Club unites a group of individuals who desire to provide a substantial amount of unrestricted resources on an annual sustaining basis.

The award is intended to recognize the teaching contributions made to the University by a member of the faculty over a period of twenty years or more. To be eligible for consideration, the faculty member should be within five years of intended retirement from the University. While it is understood that the contributions of the candidate are many-faceted, the award is intended to dramatize the contributions of the faculty member to the welfare and overall education of his or her students during an extended teaching career at the University of Kansas.

The award, which carries a stipend of $6,000, is presented annually to a member of the faculty who exemplifies best the commitment of the University to outstanding teaching. Nominations are requested by Friday, May 9, 2008; announcement of the award will be made at the Chancellors Club dinner in early November.

Nominations are invited from students, faculty, staff and alumni of the University. Letters of nomination should be sent to the Office of the Provost, 250 Strong Hall, and must be accompanied by a curriculum vitae, and by departmental (if applicable) and school endorsements.

No announcement will be made concerning persons nominated, and all materials received in relation to the process will be treated as confidential information.
