CLAS Dean’s Outstanding Faculty Award
As part of the initiative to recognize contributions of faculty in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences the CLAS Dean’s Outstanding Faculty Award was introduced in spring 2015.
This award recognizes tenure-track and tenured faculty who show a consistent and conscientious commitment to student success in and out of the classroom. Faculty are considered based on a record of supporting student research/internships and helping students (in and out of the classroom) above and beyond the “norm.” Particular consideration is given to contributions to student learning/student learning experiences and involvement with students. The recipient is someone who holds the respect of their peers -- in and out of their own department.
