The Faculty Recognition and Awards Committee is now accepting nominations for the inaugural Faculty Industry Partnering Award:

The Faculty Industry Partnering Award recognizes a faculty member who achieves extraordinarily high impact innovations through research collaborations with industry.

The selection criteria include:

• exceptional engagement in collaborative research with industry
• research leadership recognized nationally and internationally
• high degree of student engagement in industry research efforts

Additional information, including nomination procedures, are available online at http://oregonstate.edu/senate/awards/nom/partner/criteria.html. Nominations are due in the Faculty Senate Office on September 6.

This is a new award and the timeline is short to accommodate awarding of a recipient at the 2012 University Day. In subsequent years nominations for this award will be solicited earlier in the academic year.
