Provost's Award for Creative Extension Programming by New Faculty

Purpose/Eligibility

To recognize faculty with a current (at least 25 percent) extension assignment who have made exceptional accomplishments in their first four years of service to MU (Year 1-Fall 02, Winter 03, Summer 03 through Year 4-Fall 05, Winter 06, Summer 06) in the field of extension or continuing education. Individuals with service dates prior to September 1, 2002 will be considered to have more than four years of service and are ineligible to receive this award.

Award

The award is in the amount of $1,000, less applicable taxes.

Nominations

Faculty colleagues, departments, schools/colleges, or recognized campus organizations may nominate individuals.

Do not place nomination materials in a hard binder. The length of the nomination materials is not of primary importance because the final choice will be based on convincing evidence. Nomination materials will not be returned; therefore, the department chair should retain a copy of nomination materials for possible future use. Unsuccessful nominations may be updated and resubmitted in successive years.

Nomination materials should include:

1. Nomination/Cover Letter
   Describe the impact of the nominee's extension and continuing education activity or activities that qualify the candidate for nomination.
2. Supporting letters (limited to 5) from clientele served, colleagues, students and peers.
3. Nominee's curriculum vitae.

Submissions

Nominations and supporting materials must be submitted by the Divisional Dean. Submit an electronic version as an email attachment to umcprovostawards@missouri.edu, naming each document starting with the applicant's last name followed by a document reference (i.e., Jones-Creative Ext application). Send only the original copy of the entire proposal packet to:
