We are pleased to announce the call for nominations for the 2023-2024 Marilyn E. Demorest Faculty Advancement Award.
This award is supported by an endowment created by Dr. Marilyn Demorest, Professor Emerita of Psychology and former Vice Provost for Faculty Affairs, to “support the advancement of all UMBC faculty members in their academic success at UMBC.” This fund is awarded, annually, to faculty who mentor and/or advise faculty and colleagues in their field. The Marilyn E. Demorest Faculty Advancement Award is conferred for a term of one year upon a UMBC faculty member.

The Marilyn E. Demorest Faculty Advancement Award will be appointed by the Provost based upon recommendation of the Honors and Awards Committee of the Faculty Senate. This year there will be one award which will allocate $3,000 to stipend and $500 to a discretionary expense account.
The faculty member’s 2023-2024 contribution, as the Marilyn E. Demorest Faculty Advancement Awardee, to mentoring and advising faculty may involve new initiatives or build upon and enhance or extend prior work with or for faculty.
