for the Nicholas Perkins Hardeman Academic Leadership Award
(This information may be found in section 9.0 of the Policy on Faculty Awards, 12-06)
Purpose: The Nicholas Perkins Hardeman Academic Leadership Award is designed to acknowledge publicly and reward significant contributions to the principle and practice of shared governance at California State University, Long Beach. The award shall be presented to the recipient at a scheduled Academic Senate meeting before the end of the spring semester. The recipient of the Award shall be publicly recognized at the university's fall convocation. There is only one (1) award granted annually.
History: This award was
first presented on April 27, 1989 due to the generosity of an anonymous donor.
The donor requested that the first recipient of the award be Professor Ben
Cunningham, Journalism, and Chair of the Academic Senate. In 1991-92, based on
an Academic Senate Resolution, it was renamed the Nicholas Perkins Hardeman
Academic Leadership Award. Since 1993-94 the award has been given on behalf of
the Presidents' Associates, since funds from the endowment given by the
anonymous donor were no longer available.
Eligibility: All faculty, including emeriti faculty (within five [5] years of the date of retirement), with the exception of previous award recipients, are eligible. Nominees must have been employed by the University for a minimum of five (5) years.
Nomination: Nominations for the Hardeman Academic Leadership Award may be submitted by university faculty, staff, administrators, students, and alumni/ae. Nominators may nominate only one (1) candidate for this award in a given academic year. The letter of nomination, signed by the nominator(s), shall identify the nominee and shall provide a brief rationale for the nomination. Nomination letters are due to the Academic Senate.
Evaluation Criteria: A candidate for this award shall have demonstrated exceptional leadership.
Submission:Nominees for this award are notified of their nomination and provided with application guidelines by the Chair of the Academic Senate. The candidates who accept their nomination shall submit an application and the required materials to the Academic Senate Office.
