The Faculty Senate of the University of Guam is accepting nominations for the Palulap Medallion Award.
The Palulap Award is presented to a member of the Guam community who has made extraordinary contributions to the protection and promotion of academic freedom, institutional integrity, institutional and individual autonomy, and shared academic governance — the fundamental academic principles of the University of Guam.
The awardee will receive a plaque and a medallion engraved with the legendary Micronesian navigator Palulap, representing wisdom and leadership, and symbols of Micronesian celestial navigation, including a sailing vessel, guiding stars, and land.
Nominations are solicited annually, although the award is only granted when a nominee unequivocally meets the award criteria. Nominations may be made posthumously as well.
The deadline to submit nominations is 5 p.m. on Wednesday, February 15, 2023.
To make a nomination and for more information, visit the website or email msantos@triton.uog.edu.
