Awards and Scholarship Committee

Since 2007 the CUNY Council on Foreign Language Study (CCFLS) annually recognizes faculty members who have made outstanding contributions to the foreign language field at CUNY. Outstanding contributions may include service to the Council, publications, presentations, excellence in teaching, leadership, dissemination of foreign culture through the arts, etc.  The CUNY Council on Foreign Language Study Award for Contributions to the Profession is awarded to full and part time faculty and recognizes a sustained and distinguished record of achievement in the profession. At the last meeting of the academic year in May, a ceremony will be held to honor the individual(s) chosen by the CUNY Council Award and Scholarship Committee.

The selection process begins with nominations of individuals who have provided outstanding contributions to our profession and have actively participated as members of CCFLS for at least 3 years.  Nominations are to be made by December 20th of each year for awards in the following spring.  Nominations are made by departments that are members of CCFLS who write a brief letter of support and forward up-to-date curricula vitae, copies of publications, and/or evidence of professional presentations and creative works to the CUNY Council Award and Scholarship Committee. This committee will consist of five council representatives from different institutions, currently Alicia Ramos (Hunter College), Debra Popkins (Baruch College), Liliana Soto-Fernández (John Jay), Sarah Pollack (CSI), Lorena Ellis (QCC).

The award winner(s) will be announced in the first meeting in the Spring.
