University of Minnesota Unit Service Award has been awarded to Catharine Saint-Croix, Assistant Professor

The Awards for Academic Unit Service recognize faculty for exceptional service that has strengthened the functioning and climate of a local unit or department. This is the inaugural year of these awards, a collaboration between the Provost’s Office and the Faculty Consultative Committee. 

The Award for Excellence in Academic Unit Service recognizes ongoing institutional service at the local level. One award is available for each department or unit, systemwide. From among those nominated for the Award for Excellence in Academic Unit Service, six individuals were chosen for higher-level awards. These awards, the Provost’s Unit Service Award, and the University of Minnesota Unit Service Award, serve to emphasize and elevate the importance of this type of service to the University’s success. 

University of Minnesota Unit Service Award, $15,000
