Those interested in making nominations can download and review guidelines from the SUNY website for either the Chancellor’s Award or Distinguished Faculty ranks.

Additionally, before you submit a nomination, it is best that you review a copy of the SUNY Oswego guidelines for these awards.

After reading these guidelines, if you are still interested in nominating an individual for one of these awards, please submit a letter of nomination (formatted as a PDF) through this Google form. These initial nominations are due by Oct. 15.

Those who are nominated will be responsible for submitting all credentials and supporting materials digitally formatted as a PDF to orsp@oswego.edu, by Nov. 15. You may also address any questions about the Chancellor's Award or Distinguished Faculty nomination review process through these channels as well.
