Using local processes and following general guidelines, each university accepted nominations and selected the university-level nominees, one per university, early this year. Nominees were then considered for the system-wide awards by a panel consisting of Connecticut State University Professors, a designation earned by no more than three senior faculty members at each university. Their recommendations were forwarded to the Board's Academic Affairs Committee, and then to the full Board. Each of the recipients' universities will receive an award of $1,000, with the system-level recipient receiving an additional $1,000 award for their university.
