Phyllis A. Roth Faculty Distinguished Service Award

Closing date: Friday, September 22, 2023

The Phyllis A. Roth Faculty Distinguished Service Award recognizes a faculty member at Skidmore College for special achievement in service and leadership. The FDC welcomes nominations from faculty colleagues and staff members; each nominator will speak to the nominee’s record of continuing exceptional service to Skidmore. Excellence in service can include leadership of a department or program, service on committees and task forces, initiatives associated with institutional strategic plans, and initiatives that serve the institution across departments and programs. Although service to the Skidmore community is the primary criterion, service to communities more variously or broadly conceived may be considered. Candidates for this award will have served at the college for a number of years and have compiled a sterling record of contributions to our community.  Though recipients of this award should be selected primarily on the basis of individual merits, consideration may also be given to issues of diversity and inclusion. These might include diversity of discipline, gender and/or ethnic background.  Depending on the number of nominations received, FDC may first narrow the pool of nominees.  Only the finalists will be asked to submit supporting material for further consideration.  Please email the supporting material to Debra Peterson at dpeters1@skidmore.edu.
