2012 Lehigh Appreciation Dinner will honor University Award Recipients
Each year, Lehigh honors a select group of talented and dedicated individuals, who receive staff and faculty awards in recognition of their contributions to the university, their dedication and their excellence. Nominations were accepted through February 15, 2012. University award recipients were honored at the annual Lehigh Appreciation Dinner on May 1, 2012.
There were a number of changes to this year’s awards process. They include:
- Nominations submitted for University Awards will be considered for a three-year period. Nominees who are not chosen for their respective awards will be reconsidered for two more years and nominators will be given the opportunity each year to update or withdraw their nomination.
- Faculty and staff are no longer eligible to receive any University Award for two consecutive years along with the eligibility restrictions that apply for certain awards.
- The eligibility criteria for the Alfred Noble Robinson Award for Faculty have been revised. Nominees for this award must be employed full-time by Lehigh University in teaching, research, or any combination of these and in at least the second year of such employment. Nominees must be below the rank of associate professor or its equivalent. There is no longer an age restriction for the Robinson Faculty Award.
The University Awards website contains nomination information, a list of previous award recipients and award eligibility criteria. Should you have questions about the University Awards program or process, you may contact Tammy Ferguson at tgf210@lehigh.edu.
