The Academic Senate assigned responsibility for these awards to the Provost’s Awards Selection Committee (PASC), which has established procedures and criteria for the awards, as summarized below.

The awards are open to all faculty members (including lecturers), librarians, counselors, coaches, and faculty participating in the Faculty Early Retirement Program (FERP) who have been at Cal Poly Pomona for a minimum of five (5) years. Recipients must demonstrate a sustained effort in the relevant area of the award. An individual is eligible to receive the award in each category only once. 

Nominations:

Nominations may be submitted by any interested person or organization (e.g., student, staff, faculty colleague, administrator, Alumni Association, etc.). Self-nominations will be accepted.  Nomination statements, limited to two pages, must be submitted electronically to: provostsawards@cpp.edu, by 5:00 p.m. on Friday, February 14, 2025.

Additional Application Materials:

The PASC will review nomination statements and advise nominees of their nomination. The committee will ask the nominees to submit a statement of acceptance by Wednesday, February 19, 2025, with supplementary materials due by 5:00 p.m. on Monday, March 3, 2025. 

Announcement of Awardees:

Awardees will be notified in early April, followed by a campus‐wide announcement. Each recipient will be recognized at the Fall Conference Academic Affairs Forum and honored as a keynote speaker at the Provost’s Awards for Excellence Symposium on Thursday, October 9, 2025. 

Criteria:

Details on the criteria for each award, and additional information about the selection process, are available on the Forms page.

Selection Procedure:

After receiving the nomination statements, the Committee for the Provost’s Award for Excellence shall invite all nominees to accept their nomination and provide materials identified as relevant for further consideration by the Committee.  These materials are described in detail in the sections about each award. All materials must be submitted by the deadline and must conform to the guidelines above.  Materials that do not meet these requirements will not be considered.

The Committee will be broken into three subcommittees, one for each award. The Committee Chair shall serve on all three subcommittees, the Associate Provost shall serve on the Teaching and Service subcommittees, and the Associate Vice President for Research shall serve on the Scholarly and Creative Activity Subcommittee.  The remaining committee members shall serve on one subcommittee. 

The subcommittees shall carefully analyze the nomination statement and the materials submitted by the nominees using the established criteria that have been developed for this purpose.  Each subcommittee shall recommend a ranked set of finalists to the committee as a whole. In the event that none of the candidates meet the high level of achievement expected for the award the subcommittee may chose not to recommend a set of finalists. The entire committee shall select the award recipients if any in each category by majority vote and forward the recommendations to the Provost.
