Chancellor's Academic Professional Excellence (CAPE) Award
The Chancellor's Academic Professional Excellence (CAPE) Award is designed
to recognize demonstrated excellence by academic professional staff located
at the Urbana-Champaign campus, including off-campus staff of Continuing Education
and Public Service, and Cooperative Extension Service. The award is intended
to encourage professional development and improve morale by honoring contributions
by outstanding academic professional staff members. Any academic professional
whose appointment is at least 50-percent time, has been employed as an academic
professional for at least three years at full-time or the equivalent, and
does not have a tenured or tenure-track appointment, is eligible to be nominated
for the CAPE award. Nominees for the CAPE award will be judged on three criteria:
work, personal, and professional contributions. Each winner of the CAPE award
will receive $2,000 in cash for personal use at the award presentation each
spring and a $1,000 permanent salary increase. In addition, $1,000 will be
added on a one-time basis to each winner's departmental budget to be used
for the purchase of equipment, materials, or training that would benefit the
winner's workplace in future years.
A maximum of six awards may be given annually. Nomination forms may be obtained
from the Office of Academic Human Resources (333-6747) each fall.
