To the Faculty of Case Western Reserve University:
I write to encourage you to consider who among your colleagues deserves the highest honor the university can bestow upon a faculty member: the title of Distinguished University Professor.
Distinguished University Professors demonstrate excellence as teachers and researchers. They are renowned in their respective fields and have contributed remarkable service to our institution. This annual effort allows us to appreciate all of our peers as we highlight some of the most exceptional among them. On the Distinguished University Professor website is a formal account of the criteria, the process involved in the selection process, and a list of previous recipients.
We are privileged to be in a place full of so many talented and dedicated faculty members. As you consider colleagues to nominate this year, I encourage you to be mindful of those individuals who represent the breadth of our campus faculty community.
The dean of each school and college determines how members of the faculty are nominated and may have already begun sharing details about their process. We look forward to seeing the thoughtful selections that emerge from across our schools and colleges.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to reflect upon your peers’ qualities and accomplishments. I look forward to receiving the final nomination packets.
Joy K. Ward
Provost and Executive Vice President
