Nominations for the University's 1998 Outstanding Public Service Award, which recognizes the contribution of faculty and staff to improving the quality of life locally, nationally or internationally through public service, are being sought. The award i s presented at the University's annual Recognition Ceremony in June and includes a $3,500 stipend from the President's Fund for Excellence.

Nominating letters should not exceed two single-spaced typed pages. Nominations may be accompanied by a maximum of three additional one-page letters of support.
A University committee will select the award recipient. Criteria for selection include the nature and extent of the public service activity, the amount of time and effort involved, and the lasting impact it has had. The award may be for social, cultura l, civic, education- or health-related achievements. It may be given for uncompensated consulting work within one's area of expertise, or for volunteer work outside one's area of expertise.
"Public service is playing an increasingly important part in the University's presence throughout the state and region," said President Richard L. McCormick. "This award program helps focus attention on the role the University plays, so I hope faculty and staff will take a few moments to consider nominating a deserving colleague."
Nominations should be sent to the Outstanding Public Service Award Committee, Office of the President, 301 Gerberding Hall, Box 351230, Seattle, Washington 98195. Nominations must be received by Jan. 30. ¶
