7.10 Distinguished Academic Staff Award
Up to four Distinguished Academic Staff Awards are given annually. These awards provide University-wide recognition and reward to outstanding individuals with careers demonstrating long-term excellence and exceptional contributions to Michigan State University. Eligibility for nomination requires a minimum of ten years of continuous MSU employment as an Academic Specialist or an MSU Extension academic staff member.
Nominations may be initiated by faculty, colleagues, administrators, alumni, students, faculty organizations or student organizations; self-nominations are also welcome. To be considered by the University Distinguished Academic Staff Award Selection Committee, nominations must have the endorsement of the dean or major administrative unit administrator.
