The Faculty Excellence Award Program recognizes superior faculty performance in each of the three traditional areas of academic responsibility: teaching, research and service. A faculty member from the College of Arts & Sciences and a faculty member from the six professional schools are selected from nominations for each of the three categories. All full-time faculty holding a board-approved appointment in the University are eligible for the awards.
