SERAPHIA D. LEYDA UNIVERSITY TEACHING FELLOWSHIPS

The Office of Academic Affairs announces a call for nominations for the Seraphia D. Leyda University Teaching Fellowships. The deadline for nominations is Friday, February 25, 2005.

Up to three Seraphia D. Leyda University Teaching Fellowship awards of $3,000 are available to eligible faculty beginning Fall Semester, 2005. Professors who receive the award will permanently earn the honorary title of Seraphia D. Leyda University Teaching Fellow. This title recognizes outstanding faculty members for their accomplishments as teachers and reflects the university's continuing commitment to excellence in teaching.

The $3,000 award will be available for a period of three years in support of the recipient's teaching and scholarly activities, such as travel, supplies, equipment, student help, etc. The money may not be used as salary for the faculty member who receives this award, nor can the department or college automatically reduce the recipient's teaching responsibilities. Full-time members of the faculty who have at least ten years of full-time service at UNO are eligible for this award.

Nominations may be submitted by any member of the faculty and must be forwarded through the Department Chair and College Dean to the Office of Academic Affairs no later than February 25, 2005. The Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs will make the final determination after considering recommendations by a Seraphia Leyda Fellowship Review Committee comprised of previous award winners.
