Welcome to the University Faculty Senate Web site!
Carl Wiezalis promoted to Distinguished Service Professor!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The SUNY Board of Trustees on Tuesday approved the appointments of 22 faculty to distinguished service professor and teaching professor ranks, as recommended by campus colleagues and SUNY Interim Chancellor Dr. John B. Clark. All of the distinguished rank appointments are effective immediately.
“SUNY faculty who receive appointment to the distinguished ranks are truly representative of the broad service contributions and the career achievements being made by faculty on each of our 64 campuses across New York State,” Clark said. “Each of these individuals has met and exceeded the requirements for this honor and I commend the Board of Trustees for recognizing their talent and service by approving their appointments to distinguished ranks.”
The Distinguished Service Professorship honors and recognizes extraordinary service. Candidates must have demonstrated substantial distinguished service not only at the campus and the State University, but also at the community, regional and State levels. Further, many candidates for appointment have rendered influential service, contributing at the national and international levels. Also to be considered, service must exceed the work generally considered to be a part of a candidate’s basic professional work (professional committees, etc.) and should include service that exceeds that for which professors are normally compensated. It must also extend over multiple years and, very importantly, must involve the application of intellectual skills drawing from the candidate’s scholarly and research interests to issues of public concern.
In addition to the selection criteria for the Distinguished Service Professorship, to be nominated a faculty member must have held the rank of full professor for five years, have three years of full-time service at the nominating institution, and have completed at least 10 years of full-time service for SUNY.
