Ernest A. Lynton Award for Faculty Professional Service & Academic Outreach

http://www.nerche.org/Lynton_Award/lynton_award.html

For faculty committed to civic and community engagement, there are two major national awards: the Thomas Ehrlich Civically Engaged Faculty Award, from Campus Compact, and the Ernest A. Lynton Award for the Scholarship of Engagement, from the New England Resource Center for Higher Education (NERCHE).

Both awards value community collaboration as well as institutional impact and honor engaged work across the faculty roles of teaching, research, and service. We encourage nominations for junior faculty (pre-tenure or early career at institutions with renewable contracts) for the Lynton Award and nominations for senior faculty (post-tenure or middle-to-late career at institutions without tenure) for the Ehrlich Award.

The service-learning program at NC State is a source of pride for the university, and an important facet of NC State's mission of extension for both our students and the population of the state of North Carolina. Thank you for all of the good work of Campus Compact."
