Nominations Sought

The Committee on the Annual Faculty Lectureship invites nominations for the 2000-2001 University of Washington Lectureship Award.

This award, established in 1974, carries a stipend from private funds. It is intended to honor current or emeriti faculty whose research, scholarship, or art is widely recognized by their peers and whose achievements have had a substantial impact on their profession, on the research or performance of others, and perhaps on society as a whole.

In addition to honoring the recipient, the award is designed to increase awareness, both within and outside the University, of the nature and significance of original work being done by outstanding faculty members. Accordingly, the recipient is asked to present a lecture open to the University community and the general public.

Nominations are due no later than Monday, March 27. The nomination letter should include a supporting statement summarizing the nominee’s accomplishments and impact, speaking ability, and ability to adapt his/her academic interest to a broad audience. Please include a list of important publications. Please send nominations to Professor Mary Coney, Vice Chair, Faculty Senate, 36 Gerberding Hall, Box 351271.

The UW - University of Ljubljana Exchange Program invites applications from faculty and senior graduate students to be academic visitors to the University of Ljubljana, in Slovenia, during the 2000/2001 academic year. Visitors will give some lectures and will interact with Slovene faculty and students in their field of study. The program has some funds to support travel to Slovenia, and the host institution will pay all living expenses while there. Up to two visitors, each staying for a two-week period, can be supported. Applicants should submit c.v. and letter explaining purpose and academic value of proposed visit. Deadline for applications: Friday, April 7. Applications, and all questions concerning the program, should be addressed to: Professor Louis Wolcher, Law, Box 354600, e-mail: wolcher@u.washington.edu.
