The Constantine Panunzio Distinguished Emeriti Award was created by a bequest from Professor Constantine Panunzio of UCLA. The award honors outstanding scholarly work or educational service (e.g., service in professional, university, Academic Senate, emeriti, departmental editorial posts or committees) performed since retirement by a University of California emeritus or emerita in the humanities or social sciences. This is a UC-wide prize, so each year there is only one award for all UC campuses.
