   Alumnae Anniversary Fund
       Nominations

The Committee for the Alumnae Anniversary Fund for Recognition of Faculty Women is not currently accepting nominations. An announcement will be made when we begin the nomination process for the 2009 award.

Historical Context

The Alumnae Anniversary Fund for the Recognition of Faculty was created in 1970 by a group of women who were celebrating the 100th anniversary of the admittance of women to the University. The endowment created generates interest that may be spent annually to honor a woman or women faculty. The amount of the award is to be $500. The monies may also be used to promote the fund and to provide means for the general recognition of woman faculty in higher education including holding an annual awards recognition banquet, dinners or lectures.

  • The recipients of such awards shall be full-time faculty women on the Columbia campus who have the rank of assistant or associate professor or professor.
  • Nominees must have primary responsibility in the area of teaching and research. The purpose of this award is to recognize faculty NOT administrators. Individuals with primary titles of Dean, Associate Dean, Assistant Dean, and Director are not eligible to receive this award.
  • Recipients will be selected for their teaching excellence and/or other noteworthy contributions to the education of women on the University's Columbia campus.
