The Faculty Senate of the University of Guam is accepting nominations for the Palulap Medallion Award.

The Palulap Award is presented to a member of the community of Guam who has made extraordinary contributions to the protection and promotion of the fundamental academic principles of the University of Guam, including academic freedom, institutional integrity, institutional and individual autonomy, and shared academic governance.

The award includes a medallion and plaque, each engraved with a figure of Palulap, the legendary Micronesian navigator.

Nominations are solicited annually, although the award is only granted when a nominee unequivocally meets the award criteria.

The deadline to submit nominations is 5 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 15.
