Presidential Recognition

The President's Awards Advisory Committee is seeking nominations for awards to be conferred at the Faculty and Staff Convocation in September 17, 2025.

Submitting Nominations

All nomination packets must be received by March 31, 2025 and can be submitted through one of the following methods:

  1. Online submission form

    President's Awards Advisory Committee
    c/o Office of the President
    1115 Main Administration Building
    University of Maryland

If printing and submitting your nomination by mail, the materials should include:

  • A coversheet listing the name of the nominee, the award for which the individual is being nominated, and the name of the nominator.
  • A nomination letter clearly indicating why this individual should be so honored and how the individual exemplifies the criteria for this award.

  • At least two, but no more than three, seconding letters of nomination from outside the primary unit in which the individual is employed may accompany the nomination or may be sent under separate cover.
