Here’s your chance to recognize and honor outstanding EIU professors and instructors who have made a positive, inspiring, and supportive impact on students—both inside and outside the classroom. Nominations are open to any full-time EIU faculty member, including both tenure-track and non-tenure-track instructors, who demonstrate a strong commitment to student success and inclusion. A panel of EIU students will review the nominations and select up to five faculty members to be honored with a commemorative plaque or award. Submissions are due by March 9 at 11:59 PM. For questions, please contact Student Vice President for Academic Affairs, Emilee Boyd, at erboyd2@eiu.edu. Awards Eligibility: • Nominations must be submitted by a current EIU student. • The nominator must complete the nomination form, providing a detailed description of the nominee’s contributions and why they deserve the award. • Nominees must be current, full-time EIU faculty members. • For all awards (except the Rising Star Award), nominees must have a minimum of 3 to 5 years of full-time employment and service at EIU. • A nominee may only be nominated in one award category per cycle. • Nominees will only be considered for the specific award category in which they were nominated. • Faculty members who have received an award in the past three years are not eligible for nomination.
