Since 2004, the Provost and the Dean of Libraries have hosted a reception in the spring, honoring faculty who were published or who released a creative work in the previous calendar year. Calls for submissions are sent out each January.
The guidelines for submission are as follows:
Eligible publication/release dates
- Published/released works from the previous two calendar years are eligible if they have not been recognized previously.
- Published/released works are eligible when they are published/released, not when they are submitted for consideration.
- Works in preparation are not eligible but will be recognized for the year they are published/released.

For publications
- Faculty member must be author, co-author, editor, co-editor or illustrator as noted on title page or cover of book.
- Faculty member must be author or co-author of peer-reviewed journal article or book chapter.
For other creative works
