During each spring semester, the HSU Emeritus & Retired Faculty Association call for applications for cash awards to support the professional dwevelopment of junior faculty who have deemonstrated outstanding promise.  The opportunity is open to lectureer and tenure track facutly.

Awards of up to $1000 each will be made upon evaluations of the applicant’s prior work and on the relationship of the proposal to further professional development. Even small awards are competitive. Preference is generally given to work that applies to two or more aspects of the tenure evaluation, e.g. research proposals and submission of papers with student involvement or requests for teaching materials and equipment often are given preference over a faculty member’s individual performance or solo presentation of a paper at a professional conference.
