If you know of a faculty or staff member who has performed beyond his or her responsibilities, here is an opportunity to nominate that person for the distinguished honor of the SUNY Chancellor Award for Excellence.<\/p>\n
The Chancellor\u2019s Awards for Excellence are presented annually to faculty and staff in seven categories:<\/p>\n
SUNY allots awards to each campus based on enrollment. Each category has its own criteria as to how candidates are measured.<\/p>\n
DEADLINES:<\/strong><\/p>\n CATEGORY DETAILS<\/strong><\/p>\n Teaching Award<\/strong> Adjunct Teaching<\/strong> Librarianship<\/strong> Scholarship and Creative Activities<\/strong> For scholarship (research in the sciences, social sciences, and humanities), SUNY seeks \u201can excellent, sustained record of research publications in peer-reviewed journals and\/or research monographs, and\/or research-oriented texts, or a record of presenting at national and\/or international conferences, presentation of papers published in conference proceedings and\/or digests, patents awarded, grants secured, and citation of work by individuals or groups other than the nominee\u2019s collaborators.\u201d<\/p>\n Professional Service Award<\/strong> Faculty Service Award<\/strong> Classified Service<\/strong> IMPORTANT NOTE PROCESS<\/strong><\/p>\n YOUR ROLE<\/strong><\/p>\n You are committing to seeing your nomination through to fruition. That means you will:<\/p>\n It is critical that you are certain of your own knowledge of the requirements of your nominee\u2019s job and that your nominee is, indeed, exceeding requirements.<\/p>\n If you are ready to nominate, please email SUNY Chancellor\u2019s Award Committee chair Tony Podlaski (a.podlaski@hvcc.edu<\/a>) to request a nomination form.<\/p>\n UPCOMING STEPS<\/strong><\/p>\n Portfolio<\/strong> The nominator and nominee will work together to create a complete portfolio that will be forwarded to the Chancellor\u2019s Award Committee Chair by the deadline. This packet will be one file, either Microsoft Word or PDF. Depending on the size of the file, nominees might use One Drive or upload the file to a thumb drive, which will be returned. No paper copies, binders, plastic covers, or other hard copy options can be accepted.<\/p>\n If you need help with scanning, remember there are Faculty Mentors in the Faculty Resource Room, and the CET is ready and willing to help. Portfolio files will be viewed by the committee on Blackboard.<\/p>\n What happens next?<\/strong> SUNY Information<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
\nFor the teaching award, let the committee know, especially in your own statement, what it is that you do that makes your teaching effective. A couple of sample lesson plans or descriptions of some of your greatest lessons will be helpful. Let us know how you are keeping up in your field and in pedagogical practices (e.g. professional development you are undertaking). Support letters should reflect how your lessons\/classes contribute to student success. Student letters are very important for this category, and again, should provide evidence of your impact on their learning. SUNY now requires evidence from student evaluations.<\/p>\n
\nSame as above with student evaluations if available.<\/p>\n
\nHow do you demonstrate skill in librarianship that is creative and innovative? Describe to the committee your service to the University and to the profession. How are you nurturing your own scholarship and continuing professional growth that allows you to work at the \u201cover and above\u201d capacity that the award requires?<\/p>\n
\nAt Hudson Valley Community College, we have generally had nominees for creative activities such as art or publishing. For Creative Productivity (generally the fine or performing arts or those fields where creative productivity constitutes scholarship, e.g., culinary arts, etc.) SUNY requires a record of excellence in creative activity appropriate for the specific field or discipline, such as exhibitions, shows, performances, productions, and stage work, or a record demonstrating evidence of critical reviews, grants, inclusion of works in permanent collections, retrospectives, and other forms of external recognition and acclaim.<\/p>\n
\nTell the committee how you go over and above in service to your department, your colleagues, the college, and the students. Support letters should talk about how impactful you are in these areas.<\/p>\n
\nWhen you are not in the classroom, what are your service contributions to your department, your colleagues, the college, and the students? How have you \u201cmade your mark\u201d at Hudson Valley Community College? Support letters should focus on your impact in these areas.<\/p>\n
\nAgain, it\u2019s department, colleagues, the college, and the students: What are you doing that is \u201cover and above\u201d your job description? Support letters should provide evidence that you really make a difference to the life of this college.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>The following is language from SUNY:\u00a0The sensitivities inherent in such recognition programs and the nature of the supporting documentation involved make it imperative that all deliberations of the campus committee remain strictly confidential. Committee members are prohibited by the President\u2019s Office to discuss the process or answer questions, such as who is nominated, names forwarded to SUNY, etc.<\/p>\n\n
\n
\n
\nIn general, each nominee will be required to provide:<\/p>\n\n
\nThe files are reviewed at three levels: The file will be evaluated by the committee, and if evidence is substantial and meets SUNY guidelines, will be forwarded to the President\u2019s office and, if approved at that level, will be forwarded to SUNY for approval by the Chancellor\u2019s office.<\/p>\n\n
