David L. Underwood was known for his love of education. He was deeply concerned with the welfare of students and staff alike. His dedication went beyond office hours – and he tirelessly gave of his time and talents to further the educational mission at Florissant Valley. Recipients of the Underwood Memorial Lecture Award demonstrate that same dedication and commitment. Chosen by a committee of peers, recipients exhibit excellence in instruction and a genuine, humanistic concern for students, faculty, staff – and all of education.
The following criteria were adopted by the committee in October 1975 for selection of an Underwood Award recipient.
-- The award recipient must be currently employed at Florissant Valley.
-- The award recipient must have a strong record of the achievement of excellence in instruction or instruction-related activities.
-- The award recipient must have a record of evidence that shows a genuine contribution to the field of education, and a humanistic concern for faculty, students and all persons in education.
--The award recipient must have made contributions clearly beyond what would normally be expected, and these contributions must be demonstrated over an extended period of time.
-- The award recipient must have satisfied these criteria during his or her tenure at Florissant Valley.
The recipient is selected on the basis of a consensus of the committee members (who are the three most recent Underwood Award winners).
