The nomination package should include a formal nomination letter, a CV, and three support letters, at least one from a University of ÁùºÏ±¦µä, Reno faculty member. A selection committee containing representatives from the provost's office, student services and faculty members will meet to review and discuss the nominees and arrive at a winner.

2024 award nominations will be accepted beginning in January. The deadline for nominations will be Thursday, February 15, 2024 at 5 p.m. Late nominations will not be considered.
