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.

Review Process
The campus nominee will be determined after review of all nominees by the UCDEA Awards and Recognition committee. Once this nomination has been confirmed by the UCDEA executive committee and vice provost, a full supporting dossier will be prepared to include letters of support from leaders in the field.
