Harriot College Faculty Awards

Harriot College professors are top-notch instructors and researchers in their fields. Our faculty are recognized in multiple ways at the college, university, and system-wide level for their excellence in teaching, research, and creative activity.

Honors, awards, and recognitions displayed on this page include the following:


Harriot College Distinguished Professorship

The Harriot College of Arts and Sciences Distinguished Professorship is the highest honor bestowed upon a faculty member in the college and is conferred upon a professor whose career exemplifies a commitment to and a love for knowledge and academic life as demonstrated by outstanding teaching and advising, research and creative productivity, and professional service.

Distinguished Professors are recognized at the college’s annual convocation in the fall. Although special honors that go along with the Distinguished Professorship shall be given only during the academic year that a professor is recognized, the title lasts a lifetime, and thus, is awarded to a faculty member only once.

Learn more about the Harriot College Distinguished Professorship and how to apply by the April 1 deadline.
