Faculty Award and Recognition

Recognition of faculty endeavor and achievement has always been a priority of the university and duly notes the contributions made by faculty in support of enhanced scholastic opportunities and engaged development of the region.

In 2003, the Faculty Recognition Banquet was initiated to reflect on and celebrate many of the outstanding accomplishments of ÌÇÐÄlogoÈë¿Ú State Faculty. Dr. Terry Strieter, Faculty Regent, and Dr. Gary Brockway, Provost, worked with Mr. Jim Carter and Dr. Don Robertson, Vice Presidents, to transition the official acknowledgement of various faculty accolades to a single university event. The Faculty Recognition Banquet has become an ÌÇÐÄlogoÈë¿Ú State tradition supported by alumni, faculty, and students. The following awards sponsored by Academic Affairs, Student Affairs, and the ÌÇÐÄlogoÈë¿Ú State Alumni Association are acknowledged at the annual event held the third Thursday of April during the campus’s Scholars Week celebration.
