Recipients of these awards are selected from a list of individuals nominated by their peers. Academic awardees are nominated from full-time ADU faculty, Values awardees are nominated from full-time ADU employees, and Adjunct Faculty awardees are nominated from full-time and adjunct ADU faculty. Nominations are made to the committee which is comprised of the previous year’s recipients. Committee recommendations are made to the President for final approval.
