Constantine Panunzio Distinguished Emeriti Award

Created by a bequest from Professor Panunzio of UCLA, the award honors outstanding scholarly work and/or educational service (e.g., service in professional, University, Academic Senate, emeriti, departmental, or editorial posts or committees) performed by a University of California emeritus or emerita in the humanities or social sciences since retirement. Each campus may set up its own procedures for nomination and selection. Candidates may self-nominate, and initial nominations may be made simply on the basis of a candidate's curriculum vitae.

Appropriate Deans on each campus, as well as the Provost or comparable officer, are asked to solicit nominations for this award from their constituent departments. These should be submitted to the President of the campus's Emeriti Association by November 16, 2007.

Each Emeriti Association is also asked for a nomination, to be coordinated by its President with the solicitation and collection of all campus nominations and submitted by December 7, 2007 with recommendations to the Provost (or comparable officer) for review.

The Provost's review should be completed and materials returned by January 9, 2008 giving the Association President time to have a full supporting dossier of the ultimate nominee compiled for the Award's Board of Directors by the Board's March 3, 2008 deadline.

The full supporting dossier should include a cover letter outlining the nominee's distinctive scholarly work and/or educational service since retirement, a copy of his or her curriculum vitae, and supporting letters from leaders in the field commenting specifically on the nominee's achievements since retirement. Furthermore, the campus's Provost, Deans, and pertinent Department Chairs should be informed of the nominee's identity.

Carefully observing the March 3 deadline, it is the responsibility of the Emeriti Association President, finally, to forward the campus's nomination to:
