On behalf of the Department, the Faculty Awards Committee is seeking nominations for this year’s award.

Anyone in the Department – faculty, staff, students, residents, and fellows – may submit a nomination. Nominations may be submitted by individuals or by groups (e.g. students of Professor X). Contributions to consider may include:
- Supervision of graduate students and post-doctoral fellows;
