Awards - Service

The Service Awards exist to honor and recognize faculty members who have demonstrated excellence in service to Illinois State University. By honoring such individuals, the University:

  • demonstrates its commitment to recognizing service as an activity essential to its mission and governance
  • provides incentive for faculty members to pursue activities that enhance the quality of their service, and
  • emphasizes the importance of outstanding service.

The program provides funding for service awards in three categories: University-level Outstanding Service Award, University-level Service Initiative Award, and College-level Outstanding Service Award.

Outstanding University Service Award and Service Initiative Award Guidelines and Application Deadlines for 2008-2009:

September 12, 2008: Completed applications for the Outstanding University Service Awards and Service Initiative Awards are due from departments/schools to the college deans.

October 10, 2008 : Ranked applications for the Outstanding University Service Awards and Service Initiative Awards are due to the Provost’s Office with complete documentation as requested in the service awards guidelines.

Outstanding College Service Award

Each college will be appropriated $500 in operating funds to recognize faculty with outstanding records of service. The selection process, criteria for the award, and the number of recipients will be determined by each college. Colleges are encouraged to establish criteria similar to the University service awards to ensure college recipients will be competitive for future University service awards.
