The Graduate School is pleased to announce the Outstanding Graduate Coordinator Award for 2010 to recognize the exemplary service of one of our Graduate Coordinators. I would greatly appreciate your assistance in identifying and nominating candidates for this award in your graduate programs. Graduate Coordinators provide an invaluable service to the university and its community of students, faculty, and staff, and this award is one of the few opportunities available to recognize these individuals.

The Outstanding Graduate Coordinator Award includes a $3000 prize that will be presented in May 2010. The University Co-op very generously underwrites the prizes for this award and all of the other Graduate School awards each year.

Enclosed please find a nomination form and a list of suggested criteria for identifying outstanding service. Note that nominees must have served as Graduate Coordinator for two years as of September 1, 2009, and that past recipients of the award are eligible for nomination if five or more years have elapsed since they received the award. Nomination packets consisting of six sets of the required materials (see nomination form) must be received in this office no later than Friday, November 13, 2009, to be considered. If you need additional information, please contact Tom Belinoski, Assistant Dean.

We look forward to receiving your nominations and recognizing the dedicated service of one of our Graduate Coordinators. For your information, lists of past award recipients and copies of nomination forms for all of the Graduate School awards are available at http://www.utexas.edu/ogs/awards/.
