Nominations open for 2026 CALS Awards
Nominations are open for CALS Awards. This is your opportunity to honor your outstanding colleagues for exceptional work. There is one nomination form for all awards. You can find nomination requirements and details on each award on the CALS Awards website. The nomination deadline is Monday, Dec. 1, 2025 at noon, and the 2026 CALS Awards Ceremony will take place in spring (date TBD).
Please note: CALS is accepting new nominations for the awards that were given in 2025. For those awards that were not given in 2025, recipients will be selected from the FY25 pool of excellent nominees. All nominations for all awards carry over for three years.
The people make CALS excellent. Together, students, faculty and staff carry out the mission to advance and share knowledge, discover solutions and promote opportunities in food and agriculture, bioenergy, health, the environment and human well-being with their diverse skills, knowledge, creativity and passions. CALS recognizes and is grateful for the commitment and hard work of all of our community members.
The CALS annual awards are an opportunity to recognize and celebrate the people who have led the efforts and contributed to the accomplishments of our college. Please consider submitting an award nomination to celebrate a CALS community member.
