Outstanding Honors Faculty Award

Each year the College recognizes one (or more) faculty members who have made a substantial and lasting contribution to the academic and intellectual lives of our students. Nominees are solicited from students and other faculty and chosen by a selection committee based on the criteria of who best represents the mission and values of the Honors College through their teaching, outreach, collaboration, and engagement.

Students can nominate an honors faculty member for the Outstanding Honors College Faculty Award by completing a nomination form (opens in late February).
