We are pleased to announce the call for nominations for the 2025-2026 Presidential Research and Teaching Professor Awards.
Presidential Professors receive an award of $7,500, in support of faculty development, for each of the three years of the award period ($22,500 in total).
Each department may nominate one individual in each category, by whatever method each department chooses, but with the following provisos:
(a) The
nominee for the award given in recognition of scholarly or artistic
accomplishment should be supported by documentation;
(b) Departments
should be encouraged to consult with their councils of majors in the selection
of awards for teaching;
(c) A
department may nominate only one faculty member in each category, i.e.,
teaching and research;
(d) A
department may choose not to submit any nominations.
Nominations for the 2025-2026 Presidential Research and Teaching Professor Awards, submitted as a single pdf with enumerated pages, are due to the Office of the Provost via Box Drive, no later than December 1, 2025 (by 11:59 pm).
The Presidential Research
and Teaching Professor Awards committee will review the nominations and forward
their final recommendations to the Provost and the President. After the
President approves the recommendations, the President will inform the awardees.
The awards will be presented at the Presidential Faculty & Staff Awards
Ceremony in the spring semester.
