General Information
Each year a faculty award for excellence in scholarship, research, and the arts honors those who have excelled in creative work and expresses the University's gratitude and appreciation for their achievements.
The awards are given in recognition of scholarly or creative excellence represented by a single contribution or a series of contributions around a coherent theme. Note that the award focuses especially on work culminating in the past five years. It is not a career award. The contribution may be original basic research in any area of science; the contribution may represent application of knowledge in the creation of a process or device useful to society; the contribution may be in any area of the arts or humanities such as poetry, musical composition, design, sculpture, paintings, ceramics, theatre arts, and photography.
Candidates are considered annually in each of the following areas:
- Arts and humanities
- Engineering
- Life and health sciences
- Physical sciences
- Social and behavioral sciences
