Abraham Krasnoff Memorial Award for Scholarly Achievement ( formerly "TASA")
Since 1978, the Trustees of Long Island University have honored on an annual basis selected faculty from University's residential campuses for either an outstanding single scholarly achievement or a body of work accomplished during a lifetime. The Krasnoff Award, formerly known as the Trustees Award for Scholarly Achievement, or TASA, was officially re-named in 2007 in honor of the late Abraham Krasnoff, a former trustee of Long Island University.
The process of selection calls for Krasnoff Award Selection Committees on each residential campus to issue a call for nominations and to review the scholarly work of each nominee. Upon receipt in the Office of Academic Affairs of the nominees from each campus, the nominations are sent to a jury of distinguished scholars and/or artists (external to the University) to make the final awards selection. The jury members are asked to individually and collectively review the materials submitted by the nominees, and to select up to five recipients in total.
Nominations are accompanied by supporting documentation, e.g., copies of books, articles, slides, recordings, etc., as well as a vita and a brief biography. A seconding letter from a colleague accompanies the self-nominations. Nominees should have exhibited significant scholarly activity appropriate to the academic discipline, as evidenced by peer-reviewed materials. Furthermore, a significant proportion of the scholarly activity should have been achieved while employed at Long Island University .
Recipients of the Krasnoff Award are honored at the annual Krasnoff/Newton Awards ceremony, where they receive a cash award and an engraved medal.
Beginning in 2005, with the approval of the Board of Trustees, the Krasnoff Award changed to a biennial award, alternating between the recognition of a single scholarly work and honoring lifetime scholarly achievement.
David Newton Award for Excellence in Teaching
The David Newton Excellence in Teaching Awards were generously endowed in the name of Dr. David Newton by former LIU trustee Abraham Krasnoff. The awards were first offered several years thereafter, in 1988.
Each academic department or division may nominate one or more candidates and submit them to a campus-based Newton Awards Committee. The Newton Awards Committee considers those applications that provide written documentation of the nominee's candidacy, including supporting materials. Documentation of teaching excellence is based on criteria such as presentation, attitude, expectations of students, and professional development and knowledge. The Newton Awards Committee then determines the final winner(s). There are three recipients from the C.W. Post Campus; two from Brooklyn Campus; and one from the College of Pharmacy.
The recipients of the Newton Teaching Awards are honored at the annual Krasnoff/Newton Awards ceremony, where they receive a cash award from the endowed fund established by Mr. Krasnoff, plus a glass “apple” award engraved with the recipient's name.
