Background and Purpose of Award
Created from a legacy received from Harry M. Daum, Class of 1938, the Daum Professorship is given annually to a tenured full professor in the Bellarmine College of Liberal Arts who has a distinguished and sustained record of excellence in teaching and advising, scholarship or creative work, service and leadership to the department, college and university. Nominees must demonstrate consistent excellence in all areas of faculty responsibility commensurate with rank.
The Award:
The Daum Professorship carries two course remissions to be used in the forthcoming academic year in order to support the recipient in their professional development. Additionally, a research account of $10,000 is awarded for use during one fiscal year, June 1 through May 15. Funding may be used for research-related expenses such as travel and lodging related to attending and presenting at conferences and symposia, participating in a workshop related to the research project, and/or visiting or hosting research collaborators; working at/with research sites, archives, and collections; hardware/software, books, and other research-related materials; data collection/analysis, transcription services; publication subvention costs; or other expenses related to research. The P-Card is to be used to track the funding, or faculty may choose to take this as a $10,000 research stipend (added to paycheck as supplemental pay and subject to all tax laws and policies).
