The Confederation of Alberta Faculty Associations (CAFA) is inviting nominations for the 2024 Eighteenth Annual CAFA Distinguished Academic Awards. The 2023 Awards received considerable public attention, and we are hoping to build on this success.
CAFA is a federation of Academic Staff Associations in Alberta. The four contributing members are: Athabasca University Faculty Association, Grant MacEwan University Faculty Association, Mount Royal Faculty Association, and the University of Lethbridge Faculty Association. The objectives of the Confederation are to promote the quality of education in the province and to promote the well-being of Alberta universities and their academic staff.
The CAFA Awards are open to academic staff at all Public Universities. The goal of the Awards is to acknowledge and highlight academic excellence in our provincial universities. University of Lethbridge Academic staff are highly encouraged to apply.
There are four awards:
CAFA Distinguished Academic Award
CAFA Distinguished Academic Early Career Award
CAFA Distinguished Teaching Award
CAFA Distinguished Teaching Award for Precarious Faculty
Deadline for nominations is April 30, 2024. The CAFA Awards dinner will take place on September 26, 2024.
