Department of Mathematics Faculty,

There are several prestigious faculty awards will be made in the near
future that have monetary amounts associated with them.  I list them
below and I seek nominations.

1.  The Jack Brown Endowed Faculty Award.  There is a $2,000 award for
two years to a faculty member in Mathematics and Statistics who must
"personify Dr. Jack B. Brown and demonstrate a strong commitment to
students and the provision of excellence in teaching and research."  The
funds may be used as salary support, for travel, for equipment, etc.

The selection committee is comprised of the department chair, the
department GPO and the chair of the Undergraduate Studies Committee
(myself, Paul Schmidt and Ash Abebe.)  I need nominations by April 1.

2.  The Don Logan Chair of Mathematics.  The chair was endowed with
$1,000,000 and the amount currently available is $25,000 and the
candidate will hold the distinction of the chair for five years.  The
candidate must “possess academic leadership in the pursuit of
excellence in teaching (undergraduate and graduate), research, and
university and professional service (including outreach activities)
within the department with each category weighed equally.”  The Logan
Chair will be selected by a committee appointed by the Dean of the
College.  We have a longer time frame on this one; but I’d like you to
consider possible nominations by April 15.
