UO Senate opens nominations for leadership and service awards

The University of Oregon Senate is accepting nominations for its annual leadership and service awards through noon on Friday, April 19. 

The four awards will be presented during a formal ceremony at the June 5 meeting of the University Senate.

The awards are:

  • UO Senate Award for Shared Governance, Transparency and Trust is given to an administrator or member of the UO community who has best exemplified these principles over the past year. 
  • Wayne T. Westling Award is the highest award the University Senate gives and is named in honor of Wayne T. Westling, UO professor of law from 1979-2001. It is given to a faculty or staff member for outstanding and long-term leadership and service to the university.
  • UO Senate Classified Staff Leadership Award recognizes a classified employee who is a leader in one or more of these areas—personal and professional development, a respectful work environment or diversity. 
  • UO Senate Leadership and Service Award for Officers of Administration recognizes the outstanding leadership and exemplary service of an OA over a period of years.

Members of the campus community may submit nominations for any of the awards. Nominations should be sent to senatecoordinator@uoregon.edu.

Instructions about who is eligible and what to include with the nominations are located on the senate awards website.
