The Regents' Adjunct Award recognizes adjunct faculty members who have demonstrated
excellence in teaching. The nomination period for the 2020-2021 award is Feb. 5-March

The university, at its sole discretion, may confer upon a bargaining unit member the
title of University of Alaska Regents’ Adjunct Faculty. Upon conferral of the title,
the bargaining unit member will receive a lump sum of $1,500.
Eligibility: All adjunct faculty members are eligible as long as they have taught a minimum of
1 credit in the semester they will receive the award. Adjunct faculty members who
have received the award within the previous three years are ineligible. Each of the

shall remain nominated for the subsequent semester as long as they are teaching in
that subsequent semester. Up to three awards each semester may be awarded.
