The Thomas Ehrlich Civically Engaged Faculty Award recognizes one senior faculty member (post-tenure or middle-to-late career at institutions without tenure) each year.

Honorees must be affiliated with a Campus Compact member institution, and are recognized for exemplary engaged scholarship, including leadership in advancing students’ civic learning, conducting community-based research, fostering reciprocal community partnerships, building institutional commitments to service-learning and civic engagement, and other means of enhancing higher education’s contributions to the public good.

Nominations will be accepted from colleagues, community partners, member college presidents, provosts, or through self-nomination.

The award winner will be granted $2,000 and the opportunity to conduct a session at the  Association of American Colleges and Universities Annual Conference 2013. Four finalists will also be featured in a panel presentation at the conference. The recipient will be announced on May 18, 2012 on http://www.compact.org.
