Wayne Westling Award for University Leadership and Service

The Wayne Westling Award for University Leadership and Service was created by the UO Senate at the 14 November 2001 and the 5 December 2001 meetings of the UO Senate (see for further information). The award is named in honor of Professor Wayne Westling, Professor of Law at the University of Oregon from 1979-2001, renown across campus for his unswerving and selfless commitment to faculty governance at the University of Oregon. It is given to a faculty or staff member for their outstanding and long-term leadership and service to the university. The Committee on Committees is responsible for establishing the selection criteria, soliciting nominations, screening candidates, and recommending the recipient to the senate for its approval. The senate president serves as an ex-officio member of the Committee on Committees for this yearly award activity.

Senate President Tublitz spoke concerning Wayne Westling at the UO Senate Meeting 22 May 2002.
