To be recommended for the award, applicants can either nominate themselves or be nominated by a fellow faculty member.
Bailey Young, history professor, nominated Delman for the award. The two have known one another for more than 10 years.
"There is no counting the hours and hours he puts into this (UPI)," Young said. "I felt very strongly that all of us here owe him a lot."
He said Delman is very lucid, fair-minded and believes in reason.
"What I've always seen with him when he is talking to a group of people or individually, he listens carefully, he doesn't shoot from the hip, he thinks before he opens his mouth, but he is not reckless," Young said.
Young also worked with Mendez, when they both served on Faculty Senate five or six years ago.
Mendez was ready to give his time and energy to serve Eastern and the larger community, he added.
Young said Mendez cared about how the university was governed and the role of the faculty.
"When I saw the appeal to nominate people for (the award), I thought this is something Charles deserves," he said. "I think Louie Clay Mendez would agree with me about this."
Delman cannot solely take credit for the effectiveness of UPI, Delman said.
"Every little bit that people do helps an enormous amount," he said. "It is really the most important thing, the support from the membership."
He, however, is proud to receive the Mendez Award, Delman added.
"Dr. Mendez was very, very committed to the university, and having it be a quality institution where the faculty served the students and the community," he said. "I'm very honored to get the award."
