Faculty
Enrichment Award
The Alumni Association will once again sponsor the
Faculty Enrichment Award, which includes a stipend of $1,000. To apply,
submit a proposal that states the reason you seek the award, indicating
very specifically how you plan to use the stipend and how it will enrich
you as a faculty member at Ozarks. Please limit your proposal to two
pages and include letters of recommendation from a student and division
chair. The selection committee will review applications based on their
merit, but will also focus on how the proposal relates to the stated
mission of the university.
Please turn in your proposal to the Alumni Office
no later than Jan. 18, 2002.
