Scholar of the College

Questions regarding the College of Liberal Arts Scholar of the College program should be directed to the Office of the Associate Dean for Faculty, 612-624-9839.

Description

The Scholar of the College award is presented annually by the College of Liberal Arts to recognize and celebrate outstanding achievement by faculty in the college. Scholars of the College are chosen on the basis of past accomplishments and contributions in the areas of scholarly research or other creative work, teaching, and service, and the promise of further achievement. Scholars of the College receive a stipend totaling $10,000 per year for three years to support their research or creative work.

Scholars of the College are faculty members whose scholarship and/or creative work has had, and continues to have, a significant impact on their field(s). They are scholars who have taken intellectual risks and whose research/ creative work has achieved a high level of distinction, and has transformed, or promises to transform, the ways in which knowledge is constructed in a particular discipline or set of disciplines. Past recipients of the Scholar of the College award include some of CLA's most distinguished and accomplished scholars and artists.

Eligibility

Each department also may nominate a single tenured member of the department by submitting a brief nomination statement from the chair/director, describing the achievements and contributions of the nominee in their field(s).
