Robert J. Menges Presentation Award

Presentations at the POD conference that have a research basis are eligible for the "Robert J. Menges Honored Presentation Award." This recognition was established and first awarded at the 2000 POD conference in Vancouver. The award was established in recognition of Bob Menges, an honored scholar, whose long years of work and contributions to teaching and learning and faculty development in higher education can be characterized by his spirit of caring consultation, active participation, and rigorous research. Bob was a consummate mentor - challenging, guiding, and deeply involved. It was in his nature to share what he knew and to help others find their own wisdom.

The award criteria are:  1) a session based upon sound and rigorous research in an area appropriate to the POD mission and 2) the substance of the session and the research upon which it is based need to reflect a spirit of nurturing and caring for others, the promotion of professional and personal development, and a spirit of serious scholarship in the deepest and most humane sense.
