CUNY will develop and implement a program that will consist of a series of informational and instructional workshops for faculty in participating STEM departments at 3 colleges:

 

The STEM programs at each of the participating colleges will designate a faculty member who will serve as an awards sponsor/nominator. The workshops will provide the nominators with a toolkit that will include: information about the role and functioning of awards committees, ways to identify promising nominees, approaches for writing effective nomination letters, and methods garnering support for nominees. The workshops will be developed and conducted by the Principal Investigators and select internal and external experts.
