AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF UNIVERSITY PROFESSORS
GEORGINA M. SMITH AWARD


The Georgina M. Smith Award was established in 1979 to honor the
memory of an AAUP leader, Professor Georgina M. Smith (Mathematics,
Rutgers University), who was a committed feminist and a strong
supporter of her local faculty union. The award, in the form of a
certificate of recognition, will be presented at the AAUP's Annual
Meeting to a person who has provided exceptional leadership in a
given year in improving the status of academic women or in academic
collective bargaining and through that has work has improved the
profession in general.

Rather than awarding such recognition annually, the Association will
reserve the distinction for those occasions when some accomplishment
in either area is identified as so outstanding as to merit being
specially singled out. To nominate a candidate for the award, please
send a one- to two-page description of the nominee's achievements
with supporting materials by April 15 to Anita Levy at the address
below.
