Colloquium for Faculty Research & Creative Activity
CALL FOR NOMINATIONS
The Senate Committee on Intellectual Community calls for nominations for its semi-annual colloquium featuring the research and/or creative activity of TCNJ Faculty. Two faculty members are chosen through the annual nomination and selection process to present their research and participate in a reception in their honor. A colloquium is conducted each semester, recognizing one faculty member in the fall and one in the spring.
Any full-time tenured faculty member may be nominated by a dean, chair or colleague through a simple application process.
GUIDELINES FOR NOMINATION
The intention of this Faculty Senate-sponsored initiative is to provide a means to highlight the accomplishments and scholarship of the TCNJ faculty. To this purpose, the Intellectual Community Committee requests that nominations for outstanding research or creative work by tenured faculty should come from academic leaders and faculty colleagues. Evidence should be submitted that follows these broad guidelines:
- Nominee’s research or creative activity is recognized as significant in the respective field of study.
- Nominee can deliver a lecture on his or her research or creative activity that will be of wide interest to the campus community.
NOMINATION/APPLICATION PROCESS
Nominations must be accompanied by (1) a statement not to exceed two pages that provides a concise rationale for the nomination; (2) nominee’s curriculum vitae; and (3) an abstract of the research or creative activity to be presented.
It is critical that the two-page statement document the nominee’s field of knowledge; important research contributions and where the contributions stand in relationship to his or her peers and discipline(s); and ability to deliver a lecture having broad audience appeal.
