The Department of Linguistics proudly congratulates the following five faculty members who were awarded the One U.P. Professorial Chair (PC) Awards for the 2025-2027 cycle:

Approved by the UP Board of Regents at its 1309th meeting on 22 July 2015, the One U.P. PC Awards were institutionalized by the U.P. System to recognize and incentivize faculty members who “demonstrate outstanding performance in two out of three work areas of the faculty: teaching, research or creative work, and public service.” One U.P. PC Awards are granted to the highest performing full and associate professors.

Known for its tedious evaluation process, the One U.P. PC Award system accepts and assesses individual faculty applications that undergo several layers of assessment: from the level of the unit/department, college, chancellor (through the Office of the Vice-Chancellor for Academic Affairs), and the Office of the Vice-President for Academic Affairs, and concludes with the approval of the Office of the U.P. President. 

Faculty members’ performances are assessed based on the standard rubric approved by the University. For teaching, they are evaluated through the SET (Student Evaluation of Teaching), academic initiatives developed/improved, mentoring, teaching awards, and other accomplishments. Under research/creative work, faculty members’ performances are scored specifically on the following items: publications, creation of new art, performance & exhibition, research impact and influence, other intellectual property output, (co-)editorship, conference presentations, research/creative work awards, and other accomplishments. Meanwhile, the assessment items included in the public service category are as follows: public service to UP, the profession, the nation, and the world; public service materials and programs developed/improved, public service awards, and other accomplishments. 

Ang aming maalab na pagbati!
