Levitt Mentor of the Year - Call for Nominations
| DATE: | January 19, 2010 |
| TO: : | Drake University Faculty, Staff and Students |
| FROM: : | Michael Renner, Provost |
| SUBJECT: : | Madelyn Levitt Mentor Award |
I invite you this year to nominate a faculty or staff member for this prestigious award.
Process:
1. A letter of nomination is submitted to the Provost recommending an individual for the award and explaining the context and manner in which the nominator has come to know the faculty/staff member. This letter should speak to the following qualifications:
- an outstanding commitment to student success in and out of the classroom
- integrity in personal relationships
- typifying the ideal student mentor.
- The nominee must be a faculty or staff member in at least her/his fourth year of service at the University. The nominee cannot have won this award within the past five years.
The letter is due in the Provost's Office no later than February 12, 2010. It should be sent electronically to susan.wright@drake.edu
2. The nominated individual is notified by the Provost's Office of her/his nomination and asked of her/his willingness to be considered.
3. At the nominee's acceptance, the nominator is asked to collect the following supporting material and submit it to the Provost's Office by March 12, 2010: a curriculum vitae or resume, at least one other letter supporting the nomination, and a description by the nominee of activities which illustrate her/his mentoring/advising involvement. At least one of the letters must be from a current student and there may be no more than five letters supporting the nomination. Electronic submission of materials is required. Submit all documents to susan.wright@drake.edu
4. A screening committee, appointed by the Provost, will review all nominations and make appropriate recommendations to the Provost.
5. Any individual who was nominated for the award in 2008 or 2009 may be renominated if the nominator resubmits a letter offering the individual for consideration this year. Files of previous nominees are maintained for two years. In the case of renomination, the nominator will be invited to review the previous file to ensure that the nomination is as current as possible. The limit of five letters of support, including one from a current student, also applies to renominations.
The 2010 recipient of the Madelyn Levitt Mentor Award will be announced at one of the spring 2010 commencements.
