Award Readiness and Resources

The Office of Faculty Success is here to help faculty thrive by centralizing support and advocacy for faculty advancement.

Awards and honorifics are an excellent way to bring recognition to the work of faculty and to connect with a larger professional community. The Director of Faculty Awards supports the identification of awards and provides comprehensive support throughout the process of application or nomination to a range of awards and honorifics across all disciplines to extend the scholarly impact of our faculty.

    Liaison

    If you have questions about an award, are wondering about your eligibility or the timeline for submission, we act as a liaison between faculty and awarding agencies. If you would like advice or mentorship throughout your application, we will help connect you to previous awardees to make sure all of your questions are answered.
