            &lt;h2&gt;&lt;span class="separator-line-maroon-before"&gt;CHASS Teaching Award&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences invites nominations for the 2025-2026 CHASS Teaching Award. The award is made annually to recognize outstanding achievement in teaching by a faculty member of the College.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Nominees must be Senate or Unit 18 instructional faculty (Academic Student Employees are not eligible) whose teaching is of such quality that it merits recognition and award. We are looking for an exceptional teacher who thoroughly stimulates and engages students in the classroom and contributes to the growth of teaching excellence in the College and across UCR.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Deadline for Nomination Packets:&lt;/strong&gt; April 4, 2026&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Nominations&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Faculty may self-nominate and/or be nominated by individual faculty, or by their department or program. Nominations must include the following:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;A nomination letter, which could be from the Department or Program Chair, another UCR faculty member, or authored by the nominee themselves. Letters should highlight the nominee’s pedagogical approach and contextualize the forms of evidence accompanying the nomination packet.&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;At least two different forms of evidence that demonstrate teaching excellence. These include but are not limited to: class activities (with pedagogical explanations), letters or unsolicited emails of support from an undergraduate or graduate student(s), faculty peer observation reports, syllabi, representative student evaluations of teaching from two or more classes, publications on teaching and learning, and a self-statement outlining the nominee’s approaches to teaching and effectiveness, knowledge production, and/or ability to create accessible learning environments.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Nominations will be evaluated based on overall contributions to teaching and learning. Note that student evaluations of teaching should not be heavily relied upon in the nomination; rather, the award committee will use student evaluations of teaching as secondary or complementary to the main forms of evidence and the nomination letter.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;All nominees are expected to meet the commonly held standards of ethics and conduct articulated in UCR’s &lt;a href="https://senate.ucr.edu/about/faculty_code_of_conduct" rel="noopener" target="_blank"&gt;Faculty Code of Conduct&lt;/a&gt; (e.g., concerning harassment, discrimination, and sexual misconduct) and &lt;a href="https://documents.ucr.edu/chancellor/Principles_of_Community.pdf" rel="noopener" target="_blank"&gt;Principles of Community&lt;/a&gt; (e.g., embracing diversity, taking responsibility, remaining accountable). Nominees who fail to adhere to these standards will be ineligible for the award. Previous awardees who fail to adhere to these standards may have their awards revoked. Please inform the CHASS Executive Committee if you have any concerns regarding the nominee satisfying this expectation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;All documents should be collated into a single PDF file. Please send the CHASS Teaching Award nomination packet PDF to Gabrielle Brewer via email: &lt;a href="mailto:gabrielle.brewer@ucr.edu"&gt;gabrielle.brewer@ucr.edu&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Eligibility&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Nominees must teach in CHASS and be current Senate or Unit 18 faculty. Previous awardees and Academic Student Employees [ASE’s] are not eligible.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Nominations can be carried over for only one year but have to be re-submitted.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Teaching Award Committee&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The CHASS Teaching Award Committee will consist of no less than three (3) members, at least two of whom are members of the CHASS Executive Committee.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The winner of the award will be recognized during the CHASS Fall reception.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span class="separator-line-maroon-before"&gt;CHASS Faculty Award for Community Engagement &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences invites nominations for the 2025-2026 CHASS Faculty Award for Community Engagement. The award recognizes faculty members who make outstanding efforts to reach beyond the campus and contribute in meaningful ways to the greater social good. The award also recognizes faculty who work to bring community and university together in meaningful ways. Faculty may be nominated for outstanding individual instances of community engagement, or for an outstanding record of sustained activities. Community engagement may take place at the local, regional, national, or global levels, but must include a significant interface with or service to non-university publics (this is not an award for university service). Such engagement may involve significant visibility, but it may also take the form of behind-the-scenes work.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Nominees should be CHASS Senate faculty at any rank whose community engagement is of a quality and level of commitment that merits recognition. We are looking for individuals whose investment in non-university publics is distinct and meaningful, exemplifying the ideal of faculty as scholars, teachers, and active citizens.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Deadline for Nomination Packets:&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;nbsp;April 4, 2026&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Nominations&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A faculty member may be nominated by individual students and faculty, or by their own department or program. Self-nominations are also welcome. Nominations should include the following:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;A letter of nomination explaining the nominee’s qualifications, as well as the nominator’s name and contact information.&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Two or more individual letters of support, with at least one from faculty and one from community members, programs, and/or institutions. Letters should discuss the nominee’s contributions and how they are accountable to the communities they serve.&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Supporting materials that document the nominee’s outstanding community engagement, accompanied by an explanation of how the nominee demonstrates excellence in this engagement. Any questions about what constitutes supporting materials may be directed to Gabrielle Brewer via email: &lt;a href="mailto:gabrielle.brewer@ucr.edu"&gt;gabrielle.brewer@ucr.edu&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;All nominees are expected to meet the commonly held standards of ethics and conduct articulated in UCR’s &lt;a href="https://senate.ucr.edu/about/faculty_code_of_conduct" rel="noopener" target="_blank"&gt;Faculty Code of Conduct&lt;/a&gt; (e.g., concerning harassment, discrimination, and sexual misconduct) and &lt;a href="https://documents.ucr.edu/chancellor/Principles_of_Community.pdf" rel="noopener" target="_blank"&gt;Principles of Community&lt;/a&gt; (e.g., embracing diversity, taking responsibility, remaining accountable). Nominees who fail to adhere to these standards will be ineligible for the award. Previous awardees who fail to adhere to these standards may have their awards revoked. Please inform the CHASS Executive Committee if you have any concerns regarding the nominee satisfying this expectation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;All documents should be collated into a single PDF file. Please send the CHASS Faculty Award for Community Engagement nomination packet PDF to Gabrielle Brewer via email: &lt;a href="mailto:gabrielle.brewer@ucr.edu"&gt;gabrielle.brewer@ucr.edu&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Eligibility&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Nominations may be made for faculty at any rank and in any department in CHASS. Previous awardees are not eligible.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Nominations can be carried over for only one year but have to be re-submitted.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;CHASS Faculty Award for Community Engagement Committee&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The CHASS Faculty Award for Community Engagement Committee will consist of no less than three (3) members, at least two of whom are members of the CHASS Executive Committee.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The winner of the award will be recognized during the CHASS Fall reception.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span class="separator-line-maroon-before"&gt;CHASS Faculty Excellence in Research and/or Creative Activities Award &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences invites nominations for 2025-2026 CHASS Faculty Excellence in Research and/or Creative Activities Award. This honor has been created to reward outstanding research and creative contributions of CHASS faculty. The CHASS Faculty Excellence in Research and/or Creative Activities awardee will be invited to give a college-wide lecture.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Nominees should be CHASS Senate faculty at any rank whose overall contributions to research and/or creative activities are outstanding and of a quality that merits recognition. We are looking for individuals whose contributions are significant and innovative.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Deadline for Nomination Packets:&lt;/strong&gt; April 4, 2026&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Nominations&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Faculty may self-nominate and/or be nominated by individual faculty, or by their department or program. Nominations must include a cover letter and a current curriculum vitae. The cover letter consists of: (a) the name and department or program affiliation(s) of the nominee, and (b) why this candidate should be considered for the CHASS Faculty Excellence in Research and/or Creative Activities award. Nomination letters must contextualize the nominee’s work and impact within their field(s). The CV should include the following:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Major research and creative activities&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Extramural grants for research and creative activities&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Fellowships, awards, honors, and marks of academic distinction&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Other evidence of excellence and visibility in the nominee’s field(s), including but not limited to presentations, editorships, performances, exhibitions, and screenings&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Nominations will be evaluated based on overall contributions to their field(s), with a focus on the significance and innovations of their body of research and/or creative activities. While more “standard” metrics such as journal impact factors, citation counts, and the like may be referenced, nominators should emphasize the quality and contributions of the content of the nominee’s work and its interventions.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;All nominees are expected to meet the commonly held standards of ethics and conduct articulated in UCR’s &lt;a href="https://senate.ucr.edu/about/faculty_code_of_conduct"&gt;Faculty Code of Conduct&lt;/a&gt; (e.g., concerning harassment, discrimination, and sexual misconduct) and &lt;a href="https://documents.ucr.edu/chancellor/Principles_of_Community.pdf"&gt;Principles of Community&lt;/a&gt; (e.g., embracing diversity, taking responsibility, remaining accountable). Nominees who fail to adhere to these standards will be ineligible for the award. Previous awardees who fail to adhere to these standards may have their awards revoked.

			Jaye Austin Williams earned a Ph.D. from the joint program in drama and theatre at University of California, Irvine, and University of California, San Diego, with an emphasis in critical theory, and an M.F.A. in dramatic writing from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. Her shift to higher education followed a 30-year career in the professional theatre as an acclaimed director, playwright, actor, and consultant. She comes to University of California, Riverside, from Bucknell University, where she served as associate professor and chair of the Department of Critical Black Studies, and as a faculty affiliate in the Department of Theatre and Dance. Williams’ research and applied practice theorize the intricate ways in which theatre, drama, and cinema articulate Blackness as what Frantz Fanon called “a stimulus to anxiety,” which is cohered within the collective unconscious and performed in civil/social spheres globally.&lt;/p&gt;

			Bernardette Pinetta is the daughter of Guatemalan and Mexican immigrants. Growing up in Los Angeles, she witnessed how inequitable our educational system is towards communities of color and the need for culturally relevant and social justice-oriented education. As an interdisciplinary scholar, she weaves together theories from education, psychology, and political science to contextualize how youth of color develop their ethnic-racial identity and how such views serve as key mechanisms for their orientation toward social justice. She partners with schools, organizations, and young people to cultivate learning environments that are both culturally affirming and consciousness-raising. Pinetta earned her doctorate from the Combined Program of Education and Psychology at the University of Michigan; and holds a B.A. in political science and a minor in education from University of California, Los Angeles.&amp;nbsp;She is a former Ford Pre-Doctoral Fellow, Rackham Merit Fellow, and UCLA Chancellor’s HSI Postdoctoral Fellow.&lt;/td&gt;

			Deepa Ramamurthy is a systems neuroscientist investigating how past experiences shape perception and action. She earned her B.S. in biology from Notre Dame de Namur University and her Ph.D. in neuroscience from University of California, Davis, where she used the marsupial whisker system to examine how early vision loss alters tactile processing and drives compensatory plasticity across sensory systems. As a postdoctoral researcher at University of California, Berkeley, she developed quantitative methods to dissociate sensory, motor, and cognitive signals in neural activity during goal-directed behavior in mice. Building on this work, she studies how recent experiences guide attention during sensory processing, with the goal of uncovering the roles of distinct cell types and neural circuit motifs in attention and their dysfunction in neuropsychiatric disease models. Her research combines quantitative behavioral and computational modeling approaches with cell type–specific tools to reveal how brain representations are dynamically reshaped by experience to support flexible behavior.&lt;/p&gt;

			Todd Sorensen is a labor economist who is rejoining University of California, Riverside, after 11 years, now in a more teaching-focused role. He greatly values the perspectives of UC students and feels honored to teach these top 9% of students in California. His research examines monopsonistic labor markets, where firms set wages and the usual predictions about minimum wages or unions break down.&lt;br&gt;
			&lt;br&gt;
			Todd grew up in Seattle, and studied for his bachelor’s in economics and mathematics at Western Washington University (1998-2002). He earned his Ph.D. in economics at the University of Arizona (2002–2007). He taught for the last three years at University of California, Merced, following seven years at the University of Nevada, Reno, after starting his career at UCR. Todd and his spouse have held titles at every UC campus not starting with the letter “S.”&lt;/p&gt;

			Christina Torres is a bioarchaeologist who received her Ph.D&amp;nbsp;in anthropology from University of California, Santa Barbara, and was previously a professor at University of California, Merced. Torres’ primary research questions focus on the body and its intersection with society and culture. Through her research, she seeks to convey the ways that our physical body is so much more than our biology. To do so, she studies the ways that humans directly intervene with their bodies through body modifications and patterns of violence and the potentially substantial and indelible marks these leave on the skeleton. Within the frameworks of mobility and inequality, she studies the way in which the body maintains evidence of the customs of populations in different social spheres and environments. In this way, her work seeks to understand the experience of living in the Atacama in archaeological times and the ways that this life is made manifest in the body.&lt;/p&gt;

            &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dear CHASS Chairs and Faculty Executive Committee Chair Leonard:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Last December, I detailed how the College was responding to historic labor agreements with Academic Student Employees and the Graduate Student Researchers in the University of California and the broader future of graduate studies in the UC. The resourcing of graduate studies and the embrace of graduate student success — all relative to our MSI-AAU status —&amp;nbsp;were my single most important preoccupation as 2023 came to a close. One year later, graduate studies remain at the forefront of my mind.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I thank each of our graduate program leads for taking the time in the fall quarter to sit down with me, Dean of the Graduate Division Lidia Kos, and Associate Dean for Academic Affairs Covadonga Lamar Prieto to explore what’s working in our admirable PhD and MFA programs. We learned about the best of your rising scholars and artists alongside what’s keeping us all up at night. These conversations are the foundation for sharpening the discipline-specific metrics of success that undergird excellence across all graduate programs. This work continues, enhanced by dashboards by degree program (forthcoming) and across the entire&amp;nbsp;&lt;a data-auth="NotApplicable" data-linkindex="2" href="https://ucr.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=95843fcf3bb9172f37ecbd4af&amp;amp;id=a4b5f618c4&amp;amp;e=1c861f5ad3" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="https://ucr.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=95843fcf3bb9172f37ecbd4af&amp;amp;id=a4b5f618c4&amp;amp;e=1c861f5ad3"&gt;College&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a data-auth="NotApplicable" data-linkindex="3" href="https://ucr.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=95843fcf3bb9172f37ecbd4af&amp;amp;id=5daf68eea5&amp;amp;e=1c861f5ad3" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="https://ucr.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=95843fcf3bb9172f37ecbd4af&amp;amp;id=5daf68eea5&amp;amp;e=1c861f5ad3"&gt;University&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I am equally grateful to each program for the open-ended explorations of what appropriate and competitive graduate funding packages can look like in a new environment in which all incoming students are compensated at levels sufficient to pursue their studies and receive strong training in pedagogy, research, and creative activity.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;CHASS is on solid footing for another year of steady success —&amp;nbsp; from the current admissions cycle to the celebration of graduate achievement at the spring hooding ceremonies next June. The College, degree programs, and Graduate Division are finally talking to one another about short- and long-term goals. We are developing a common language of student success, supported by standardized data. We are getting better at identifying systemic barriers to student success. Dean Kos and I are collectively invested in addressing the very legitimate demand to rebuild fellowship support in the first year, during candidacy, and at degree completion. CHASS will continue to support the obligations of the UAW contracts (extended through December 31, 2025, with guaranteed 4% increases effective next October). I commit to investing in our graduate programs all permanent and one-time dollars reallocated from the Graduate Division and Central Administration as part of the sunsetting of the outdated and inequitable “cohort model.”&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The complicating factor is that a budget squeeze in State finances delivered a $3M cut to CHASS. I invite you to review the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a data-auth="NotApplicable" data-linkindex="4" href="https://ucr.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=95843fcf3bb9172f37ecbd4af&amp;amp;id=25a8fe5187&amp;amp;e=1c861f5ad3" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="https://ucr.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=95843fcf3bb9172f37ecbd4af&amp;amp;id=25a8fe5187&amp;amp;e=1c861f5ad3"&gt;FY25 Fall Budget Letter&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and the&amp;nbsp;2024 State of the College&amp;nbsp;to understand the numbers and our response. The College now must return&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;an additional&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;$1.1M in permanent funding, as our portion of cuts that stem from slack undergraduate enrollments across all UCR. As staff and Senate faculty hiring continues, while temporary teaching requests and operational costs increase, the College cannot grow graduate studies at this time and at the pace of our aspirations and legitimate needs. The costs associated with a universal three-quarter fellowship are simply out of reach.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But we shall not slip backward. Even in the face of budget cuts that constrain the entire College, no program will be forced to shrink its new student cohort size below five-year historical averages; no funded student will see their compensation rate drop below current levels.&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;I commit to maintaining next year’s funded graduate admissions targets at the current year’s levels&lt;/strong&gt;. Therefore, no program will face a cut in its allotted slots and no current or incoming student, regardless of appointment type, will earn less than the UAW minimums.&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;I will, moreover, commit CHASS resources to continue the three-quarter fellowship recruitment package (currently known as the Vice Provost for Excellence Award), expanding the number of such packages proportional to program size.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;hr&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Funded admission slots for Fall 2025 are set at a combined 126 matriculating PhD and MFA students —&amp;nbsp;the same level as the Fall 2024 target and 9.6 slots above our combined five-year average.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In FY26, all funded admissions packages shall continue to carry two quarters of fellowship to be taken exclusively in the first year of study. Under a rebranded CHASS Dean’s Fellowship, twenty percent of these funded packages will carry one additional fellowship quarter, also to be taken in the first year. Tuition, benefits, and most fees are also covered for students on fellowship as well as Academic Student Employees. For PhD programs, CHASS continues to backstop four-year packages, inclusive of the first-year fellowship quarters, for Fall 2025 admits who remain in good standing. The same guarantee is set at two years for the MFA programs. To offer packages competitive with our peers, individual programs may extend longer guarantees, drawing from departmental resources as the backstop. The Dean of the Graduate Division is also making available additional resources to supplement packages offered to each program's top recruit to help us compete with other programs’ offers.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The following table reflects the number of authorized multiyear funding packages for Fall 2025 matriculated students, inclusive of the CHASS Dean’s Fellowships allocations.&lt;/p&gt;

			&lt;td&gt;9.8&lt;/td&gt;
			&lt;td&gt;10&lt;/td&gt;
			&lt;td&gt;2&lt;/td&gt;
		&lt;/tr&gt;
		&lt;tr&gt;

			&lt;td&gt;17.5&lt;/td&gt;

			&lt;td&gt;1&lt;/td&gt;
		&lt;/tr&gt;
		&lt;tr&gt;
			&lt;td&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Total&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
			&lt;td&gt;&lt;strong&gt;116.4&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
			&lt;td&gt;&lt;strong&gt;126&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
			&lt;td&gt;&lt;strong&gt;27&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
		&lt;/tr&gt;
	&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Although our overall target of 126 cannot meet some programs’ aspirations to rebuild, the target represents an increase of 16 relative to the Fall 2024 incoming cohort of 110. The number of incoming students with a three-quarter first-year fellowship will double. And no student on a fellowship quarter will face the dim prospect of constraining their household budget relative to peers on ASE-regulated appointments.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In January, Cova will be following up with a more detailed explanation of the CHASS Dean's Fellowship allocations and the overall timeframe and workflow of the admissions season.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For this December, I wish each of you rest in the coming two weeks and peace in the New Year.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Yours sincerely,&lt;/p&gt;

            &lt;h2&gt;&lt;span class="separator-line-maroon-before"&gt;CHASS Teaching Award&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences invites nominations for the 2024-2025 CHASS Teaching Award. The award is made annually to recognize outstanding achievement in teaching by a faculty member of the College.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Nominees must be Senate or Unit 18 instructional faculty (Academic Student Employees are not eligible) whose teaching is of such quality that it merits recognition and award. We are looking for an exceptional teacher who thoroughly stimulates and engages students in the classroom and contributes to the growth of teaching excellence in the College and across UCR.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Deadline for Nomination Packets:&lt;/strong&gt; April 21, 2025&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h6&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Nominations&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h6&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Faculty may self-nominate and/or be nominated by individual faculty, or by their department or program. Nominations must include the following:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;A nomination letter, which could be from the Department or Program Chair, another UCR faculty member, or authored by the nominee themselves. Letters should highlight the nominee’s pedagogical approach and contextualize the forms of evidence accompanying the nomination packet.&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;At least two different forms of evidence that demonstrate teaching excellence. These include but are not limited to: class activities (with pedagogical explanations), letters or unsolicited emails of support from an undergraduate or graduate student(s), faculty peer observation reports, syllabi, representative student evaluations of teaching from two or more classes, publications on teaching and learning, and a self-statement outlining the nominee’s approaches to teaching and effectiveness, knowledge production, and/or ability to create accessible learning environments.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Nominations will be evaluated based on overall contributions to teaching and learning. Note that student evaluations of teaching should not be heavily relied upon in the nomination; rather, the award committee will use student evaluations of teaching as secondary or complementary to the main forms of evidence and the nomination letter.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;All nominees are expected to meet the commonly held standards of ethics and conduct articulated in UCR’s &lt;a href="https://senate.ucr.edu/about/faculty_code_of_conduct" rel="noopener" target="_blank"&gt;Faculty Code of Conduct&lt;/a&gt; (e.g., concerning harassment, discrimination, and sexual misconduct) and &lt;a href="https://documents.ucr.edu/chancellor/Principles_of_Community.pdf" rel="noopener" target="_blank"&gt;Principles of Community&lt;/a&gt; (e.g., embracing diversity, taking responsibility, remaining accountable). Nominees who fail to adhere to these standards will be ineligible for the award. Previous awardees who fail to adhere to these standards may have their awards revoked. Please inform the CHASS Executive Committee if you have any concerns regarding the nominee satisfying this expectation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;All documents should be collated into a single PDF file. Please send the CHASS Teaching Award nomination packet PDF to Gabrielle Brewer via email: &lt;a href="mailto:gabrielle.brewer@ucr.edu"&gt;gabrielle.brewer@ucr.edu&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h6&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Eligibility&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h6&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Nominees must teach in CHASS and be current Senate or Unit 18 faculty. Previous awardees and Academic Student Employees [ASE’s] are not eligible.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Nominations can be carried over for only one year but have to be re-submitted.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h6&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Teaching Award Committee&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h6&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The CHASS Teaching Award Committee will consist of no less than three (3) members, at least two of whom are members of the CHASS Executive Committee.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The winner of the award will be recognized during the CHASS Fall reception.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span class="separator-line-maroon-before"&gt;CHASS Faculty Award for Community Engagement &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences invites nominations for the 2024-2025 CHASS Faculty Award for Community Engagement. The award recognizes faculty members who make outstanding efforts to reach beyond the campus and contribute in meaningful ways to the greater social good. The award also recognizes faculty who work to bring community and university together in meaningful ways. Faculty may be nominated for outstanding individual instances of community engagement, or for an outstanding record of sustained activities. Community engagement may take place at the local, regional, national, or global levels, but must include a significant interface with or service to non-university publics (this is not an award for university service). Such engagement may involve significant visibility, but it may also take the form of behind-the-scenes work.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Nominees should be CHASS Senate faculty at any rank whose community engagement is of a quality and level of commitment that merits recognition. We are looking for individuals whose investment in non-university publics is distinct and meaningful, exemplifying the ideal of faculty as scholars, teachers, and active citizens.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Deadline for Nomination Packets:&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;nbsp;April 21, 2025&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h6&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Nominations&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h6&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A faculty member may be nominated by individual students and faculty, or by their own department or program. Self-nominations are also welcome. Nominations should include the following:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;A letter of nomination explaining the nominee’s qualifications, as well as the nominator’s name and contact information.&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Two or more individual letters of support, with at least one from faculty and one from community members, programs, and/or institutions. Letters should discuss the nominee’s contributions and how they are accountable to the communities they serve.&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Supporting materials that document the nominee’s outstanding community engagement, accompanied by an explanation of how the nominee demonstrates excellence in this engagement. Any questions about what constitutes supporting materials may be directed to Gabrielle Brewer via email: &lt;a href="mailto:gabrielle.brewer@ucr.edu"&gt;gabrielle.brewer@ucr.edu&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;All nominees are expected to meet the commonly held standards of ethics and conduct articulated in UCR’s &lt;a href="https://senate.ucr.edu/about/faculty_code_of_conduct" rel="noopener" target="_blank"&gt;Faculty Code of Conduct&lt;/a&gt; (e.g., concerning harassment, discrimination, and sexual misconduct) and &lt;a href="https://documents.ucr.edu/chancellor/Principles_of_Community.pdf" rel="noopener" target="_blank"&gt;Principles of Community&lt;/a&gt; (e.g., embracing diversity, taking responsibility, remaining accountable). Nominees who fail to adhere to these standards will be ineligible for the award. Previous awardees who fail to adhere to these standards may have their awards revoked. Please inform the CHASS Executive Committee if you have any concerns regarding the nominee satisfying this expectation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;All documents should be collated into a single PDF file. Please send the CHASS Faculty Award for Community Engagement nomination packet PDF to Gabrielle Brewer via email: &lt;a href="mailto:gabrielle.brewer@ucr.edu"&gt;gabrielle.brewer@ucr.edu&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h6&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Eligibility&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h6&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Nominations may be made for faculty at any rank and in any department in CHASS. Previous awardees are not eligible.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Nominations can be carried over for only one year but have to be re-submitted.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h6&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CHASS Faculty Award for Community Engagement Committee&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h6&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The CHASS Faculty Award for Community Engagement Committee will consist of no less than three (3) members, at least two of whom are members of the CHASS Executive Committee.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The winner of the award will be recognized during the CHASS Fall reception.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span class="separator-line-maroon-before"&gt;CHASS Faculty Excellence in Research and/or Creative Activities Award &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences invites nominations for 2024-2025 CHASS Faculty Excellence in Research and/or Creative Activities Award. This honor has been created to reward outstanding research and creative contributions of CHASS faculty. The CHASS Faculty Excellence in Research and/or Creative Activities awardee will be invited to give a college-wide lecture.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Nominees should be CHASS Senate faculty at any rank whose overall contributions to research and/or creative activities are outstanding and of a quality that merits recognition. We are looking for individuals whose contributions are significant and innovative.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Deadline for Nomination Packets:&lt;/strong&gt; April 21, 2025&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h6&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Nominations&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h6&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Faculty may self-nominate and/or be nominated by individual faculty, or by their department or program. Nominations must include a cover letter and a current curriculum vitae. The cover letter consists of: (a) the name and department or program affiliation(s) of the nominee, and (b) why this candidate should be considered for the CHASS Faculty Excellence in Research and/or Creative Activities award. Nomination letters must contextualize the nominee’s work and impact within their field(s). The CV should include the following:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Major research and creative activities&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Extramural grants for research and creative activities&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Fellowships, awards, honors, and marks of academic distinction&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Other evidence of excellence and visibility in the nominee’s field(s), including but not limited to presentations, editorships, performances, exhibitions, and screenings&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Nominations will be evaluated based on overall contributions to their field(s), with a focus on the significance and innovations of their body of research and/or creative activities. While more “standard” metrics such as journal impact factors, citation counts, and the like may be referenced, nominators should emphasize the quality and contributions of the content of the nominee’s work and its interventions.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;All nominees are expected to meet the commonly held standards of ethics and conduct articulated in UCR’s &lt;a href="https://senate.ucr.edu/about/faculty_code_of_conduct"&gt;Faculty Code of Conduct&lt;/a&gt; (e.g., concerning harassment, discrimination, and sexual misconduct) and &lt;a href="https://documents.ucr.edu/chancellor/Principles_of_Community.pdf"&gt;Principles of Community&lt;/a&gt; (e.g., embracing diversity, taking responsibility, remaining accountable). Nominees who fail to adhere to these standards will be ineligible for the award. Previous awardees who fail to adhere to these standards may have their awards revoked. Please inform the CHASS Executive Committee if you have any concerns regarding the nominee satisfying this expectation.&lt;/p&gt;

			&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Stephen Antonoplis&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
			&lt;em&gt;Assistant Professor&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br&gt;
			&lt;a href="https://psychology.ucr.edu/"&gt;Department of Psychology&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

			&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;Stephen Antonoplis is a psychologist specializing in social and personality psychology. His research focuses on personality processes related to intergroup relations and resource allocation and the measurement of social and psychological constructs. His past work has examined personality factors motivating cross-race friendship, how personal income shapes how people think about their futures, and how to best conceptualize and measure “socioeconomic status.” His lab uses various methods, including surveys, panel and archival datasets, social network analysis, and experiments. His current work includes projects on the historical development of class identity in the U.S. and differences in the relationships occupied by different- and same-race contacts in personal networks (e.g., coworker, friend).&lt;/p&gt;

			&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;Previously, Antonoplis was a postdoctoral research scholar at Northwestern University. He completed his Ph.D. in psychology at the University of California, Berkeley, and his B.A. in psychology with a minor in economics at Northwestern.&lt;/p&gt;

			&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;Antonoplis joined the UCR faculty in January 2024.&lt;/p&gt;
			&lt;/td&gt;

			(she/her)&lt;br&gt;
			&lt;a href="https://psychology.ucr.edu/"&gt;Department of Psychology&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;
			&lt;br&gt;
			Alejandra Arce earned her Ph.D. in clinical and community psychology from Georgia State University and her B.A. in psychology from Florida International University. She completed her predoctoral clinical psychology internship at the UCSF&amp;nbsp;Child and Adolescent Services Multicultural Clinical Training Program. Before joining the University of California, Riverside, she was a postdoctoral scholar at UCLA's Culture and Race/Ethnicity in Youth Mental Health lab. She was funded through a National Institute of Mental Research Supplement to Promote Diversity in Health-Related Research.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

			&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;Arce conducts strengths- and community-engaged research with immigrant and BIPOC youth. Her research spans the translational science spectrum and aims to: (1) advance theoretical and empirical models of resilience and resistance to oppression through a critical socio-ecological lens; (2) translate basic science into prevention programs that are empowering and facilitate positive developmental and mental health outcomes; and (3) evaluate the effectiveness of community interventions that advance equity efforts.&lt;/p&gt;

			Olivia Atherton received her Ph.D. in psychology in 2020 from the University of California, Davis, and her B.S. in psychology in 2013 from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Before joining the University of California, Riverside, she was a post-doctoral researcher at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine ( 2020-2022) and an assistant professor at the University of Houston (2022-2024). Atherton’s research program sits at the intersection of social-personality, health, and developmental psychology, where her primary focus is to understand the associations among self-regulation, sociocultural contexts, and mental and physical health across the lifespan. Her lab leverages large-scale longitudinal studies and advanced statistical modeling techniques. It focuses on working with socioculturally diverse populations often underrepresented in psychological science, including Latinx communities, socioeconomically disadvantaged and rural populations, and aging samples from across the globe. Ultimately, Atherton's research program aims to improve the health and well-being of individuals, families, and communities.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;With great pleasure, I announce that&amp;nbsp;&lt;a data-auth="NotApplicable" href="https://ucr.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=95843fcf3bb9172f37ecbd4af&amp;amp;id=69c8828871&amp;amp;e=93a5b8b433" id="OWA0f42345c-3d6f-87f2-1cbb-1a85f4b03a99" title="https://ucr.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=95843fcf3bb9172f37ecbd4af&amp;amp;id=69c8828871&amp;amp;e=93a5b8b433"&gt;Covadonga “Cova” Lamar Prieto&lt;/a&gt;, Professor in the Department of Hispanic Studies, has been appointed&amp;nbsp;Associate Dean for Academic Affairs. Her five-year term began on July 1, 2024.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Cova takes on a leadership position familiar to many colleges across the University of California that have been reimagined to meet the academic aspirations of&amp;nbsp;&lt;a data-auth="NotApplicable" href="https://ucr.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=95843fcf3bb9172f37ecbd4af&amp;amp;id=5c2db9ef3b&amp;amp;e=93a5b8b433" id="OWAb662ee18-15d2-c291-aaeb-af65f8df2cf5" title="https://ucr.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=95843fcf3bb9172f37ecbd4af&amp;amp;id=5c2db9ef3b&amp;amp;e=93a5b8b433"&gt;UC 2030&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a data-auth="NotApplicable" href="https://ucr.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=95843fcf3bb9172f37ecbd4af&amp;amp;id=df47db47d1&amp;amp;e=93a5b8b433" id="OWA7ed55bfd-0736-2aa6-7527-13fbc4967692" title="https://ucr.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=95843fcf3bb9172f37ecbd4af&amp;amp;id=df47db47d1&amp;amp;e=93a5b8b433"&gt;UCR Strategic Plan&lt;/a&gt;. While graduate studies and academic student employees will be a primary focus of her portfolio, Cova will also be the lead associate dean for non-departmentalized undergraduate academic degree programs. She will also lead collaborations with campus partners in strategic planning, enrollment management, and data analytics across our undergraduate and graduate programs. I am confident that Cova will deepen an already close partnership with the Assistant Dean for Student Success and the CHASS undergraduate academic advising team. We can all be grateful for Cova’s enthusiasm to join campus-wide efforts to strengthen our academic standing as a&amp;nbsp;&lt;a data-auth="NotApplicable" href="https://ucr.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=95843fcf3bb9172f37ecbd4af&amp;amp;id=6bea09ffd1&amp;amp;e=93a5b8b433" id="OWA5d6b5b70-6538-8c89-163c-38516c73ed08" title="https://ucr.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=95843fcf3bb9172f37ecbd4af&amp;amp;id=6bea09ffd1&amp;amp;e=93a5b8b433"&gt;Hispanic-Serving research university&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

From August 1, 2022, she held the position of Interim Associate Dean for Student Academic Affairs.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I thank the members of the search and selection committee, led by former Chair of Art History Kris Neville, and others who gave their feedback on this appointment.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I am grateful that Cova has agreed to remain on the CHASS leadership team. Please join me in congratulating her.&lt;/p&gt;

            &lt;p&gt;Colleagues,&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
It gives me great pleasure to announce a new addition to the CHASS Leadership team:&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div alt="Eveleen Samayoa" data-embed-button="media_browser" data-entity-embed-display="media_image" data-entity-embed-display-settings="{&amp;quot;image_style&amp;quot;:&amp;quot;scale_367&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;image_link&amp;quot;:&amp;quot;&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;image_loading&amp;quot;:{&amp;quot;attribute&amp;quot;:&amp;quot;lazy&amp;quot;}}" data-entity-type="media" data-entity-uuid="e3ceeb97-fc02-47b7-9930-2d3f8c1a5564" data-langcode="en" title="Eveleen Samayoa" class="embedded-entity align-right"&gt;  &lt;img loading="lazy" src="https://chass.ucr.edu/sites/default/files/styles/scale_367/public/eveleen-samayoa.jpg?itok=TX0fiz-A" alt="Eveleen Samayoa" title="Eveleen Samayoa"&gt;


&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;p&gt;&lt;a data-auth="NotApplicable" data-linkindex="1" href="https://ucr.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=95843fcf3bb9172f37ecbd4af&amp;amp;id=3f7b3f9539&amp;amp;e=547b9cf0a8"&gt;Eveleen Samayoa&lt;/a&gt; ’06 has been appointed Assistant Dean of Development for the College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences. Eveleen assumed the role on May 1.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Eveleen’s appointment is the productive outcome of a nationwide recruitment led by the University Advancement in partnership with the CHASS Office of the Dean and other UCR community members.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
I suspect that some of the longtimers may remember Eveleen from her graduate studies at UCR, including a term as a Gluck Fellow, and I am certain that many more of you know her from the dedicated work as a development officer at The Music Center in Los Angeles (3 years) and right here in CHASS, since 2017.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
In her new leadership role, Eveleen will take primary responsibility for fundraising and engagement endeavors across the humanities, arts, and social sciences at UCR. In partnership with internal and external partners, she will advance the College's and University's mission of educational attainment and world-class research through the identification and stewardship of donors, alumni, and friends.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
She builds upon an impressive track record: During her seven years with the College, Eveleen has raised nearly $9M in gifts, consistently surpassing her annual goals. Most recently, Eveleen helped CHASS triple our UCR Give Day goals, raising more than $20,000 for the CHASS Student Assistance and Opportunity Fund. I am especially grateful for such initiative, creativity, and accomplishments during various vacancies in the CHASS development team.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
A first-generation graduate of the University of California, Eveleen earned her bachelor of arts in psychology and sociology at Irvine in 2001 and a master of arts in art history from Riverside in 2006. Calling Santa Monica home for several years, she maintains deep familial and affective ties in the Inland Empire. I have personally watched her take the Highlander pride to friends in Southern California, Sacramento, Washington, DC, and New York City. I look forward to working closely together as we secure philanthropic support for CHASS from right here in Riverside and across the United States.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Please join me in congratulating Eveleen on her new role and follow her on &lt;a data-auth="NotApplicable" data-linkindex="2" href="https://ucr.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=95843fcf3bb9172f37ecbd4af&amp;amp;id=6b55a9bd45&amp;amp;e=547b9cf0a8"&gt;LinkedIn&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;

            &lt;h2&gt;&lt;span class="separator-line-maroon-before"&gt;CHASS Teaching Award&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences invites nominations for the 2023-24 CHASS Teaching Award. The award is made annually to recognize outstanding achievement in teaching by a faculty member of the College.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Nominees should be senior faculty members whose teaching is of such quality that it merits recognition and award. We are looking for an exceptional teacher who thoroughly stimulates and engage students in the classroom and contributes to the growth of teaching excellence in the College and across UCR.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Deadline for Nomination Packets:&lt;/strong&gt; April 22, 2024&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h6&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Nominations&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h6&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A faculty member may be nominated by individual students and faculty, or by her or his own department or program. Initial nominations should include a formal letter of nomination explaining the nominee’s qualifications, the nominator’s name, and contact information.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Once the nomination is approved to move forward in the review process, the nominator will need to create a complete nomination package. This includes the following:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Two or more individual letters of support, with at least one from faculty and one from a student.&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;At least two years of teaching evaluations and other supporting materials.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#802244;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;**Note:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; departments/programs may submit full nomination packets that are not preceded by individual nominations.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;All documents should be collated into a single PDF file consisting of no more than 25 pages.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Please send the CHASS Teaching Award nomination packet PDF to Gabrielle Brewer via email: &lt;a href="mailto:gabrielle.brewer@ucr.edu"&gt;gabrielle.brewer@ucr.edu&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h6&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Eligibility&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h6&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Nominees must teach in CHASS and be current members of the Academic Senate. Only senior faculty members are eligible for the award. Previous awardees are not eligible.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Nominations can be carried over for only one year but have to be re-submitted.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h6&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Teaching Award Committee&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h6&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Teaching Awards Committee selects the awardee. Three members comprise the Committee: two from the CHASS Executive Committee and the award recipient from the preceding year.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Winners will be recognized during the CHASS Fall reception.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span class="separator-line-maroon-before"&gt;CHASS Faculty Award for Civic Engagement&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences invites nominations for the 2023-24 Faculty Award for Civic Engagement. The award recognizes those faculty members that make outstanding efforts to reach beyond the campus and contribute in meaningful ways to the greater social good. It also recognizes faculty who work to bring community and university together in meaningful ways. Faculty may be nominated for outstanding individual instances of civic engagement, or for a distinguished record of activities. Civic engagement may take place at the local, regional, national, or global levels, but must include a significant interface with/service to the non-university public (this is not an award for university service). While such engagement may involve significant visibility, it may also take form in behind-the-scenes work that is vital to civil society. The awardee receives formal recognition of her or his achievement by the College.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Nominees should be senate faculty at any rank whose civic engagement is of a quality and level of commitment that merits recognition. We are looking for individuals whose investment is distinct and meaningful, exemplifying the ideal of university faculty as scholars, teachers, and active citizens.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Deadline for Nominations:&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;nbsp;April 22, 2024&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h6&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Nominations&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h6&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A faculty member may be nominated by individual students and faculty, or by her or his own department or program. Initial nominations should include a formal letter of nomination explaining the nominee’s qualifications, the nominator’s name, and contact information.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Once the nomination is approved to move forward in the review process, the nominator will need to create a complete nomination package. This includes the following:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Two or more individual letters of support, with at least one from faculty and one from community members, programs, and institutions.&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Supporting materials that demonstrate the nominee’s outstanding achievements in civic engagement, community service and outreach.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;All documents should be collated into a single PDF file consisting of no more than 25 pages.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Please send the Civic Engagement Award nomination package PDF to Gabrielle Brewer via email: &lt;a href="mailto:gabrielle.brewer@ucr.edu"&gt;gabrielle.brewer@ucr.edu&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h6&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Eligibility&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h6&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Nominees must teach in CHASS and be current members of the Academic Senate. Previous awardees are not eligible.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Nominations can be carried over for only one year but have to be re-submitted.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h6&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Civic Engagement Award Committee&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h6&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Civic Engagement Awards Committee selects the awardee. Three members comprise the Committee: Two from the Executive Committee, and the third member chosen from the CHASS faculty at large. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Winners will be recognized during the CHASS reception in the fall.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span class="separator-line-maroon-before"&gt;CHASS Distinguished Research Lecturer Award&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We invite any member of the UCR Academic Senate, including department chairs and faculty at any rank, to submit nominations for the 2023-2024 CHASS Distinguished Research Lecturer Award. This honor has been created to reward outstanding research contributions of CHASS faculty.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Deadline:&lt;/strong&gt; April 22, 2024&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h6&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Awards&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h6&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The CHASS Distinguished Research Lecturer will be invited to give a college-wide lecture during the year of her or his award.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h6&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Eligibility&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h6&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Nominations may be made for faculty at any rank and in any department in CHASS.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h6&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Nominations&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h6&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The initial nomination should include a cover letter and a current curriculum vitae. Please write a letter that outlines (a) the name and department or program affiliation of the nominee, (b) why this candidate should be considered for CHASS Distinguished Research Lecturer.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Once the nomination is approved to move forward in the review process, the nominator will need to create a complete nomination package. This includes the following:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Scholarly publications&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Extramural research grants&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Fellowships, awards, honors, and marks of academic distinction&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Scholarly activities, presentations, editorships, performances, shows, and other indicators of visibility in a particular field.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Please send the Distinguished Research Lecturer Award nomination package PDF to Gabrielle Brewer via email: &lt;a href="mailto:gabrielle.brewer@ucr.edu"&gt;gabrielle.brewer@ucr.edu&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h6&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CHASS Distinguished Research Lecturer Award Committee&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h6&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The CHASS Distinguished Research Lecturer Committee will consist of five (5) members. The committee will be chaired by a member of the CHASS Executive Committee, and the chair of the committee will be chosen by the CHASS Executive Committee. Three members of the committee (including the chair) will be from the CHASS Executive Committee (one senior), and additionally members may be selected from the general CHASS faculty population. Each area of the College (i.e., Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences) will be represented by at least one committee member from that area.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The winner of the award will be recognized during the CHASS Fall reception.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thank you in advance for responding to this call for nominations.&lt;/p&gt;

            &lt;p&gt;We take this opportunity to celebrate our milestones and look to the future of CHASS. The State of the College presentation was in-person and live-streamed on &lt;strong&gt;Thursday, June 1, 2023, at 2 p.m., in INTS 1128&lt;/strong&gt;. It is a moment of focus, but also a moment of reflection and celebration. Three terms framed a larger message for the 2023 State of the College: &lt;em&gt;Vibrant, Urgent, and Necessary&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
