Second Century Faculty Career Achievement Scholarship
The ÁñÁ«ÊÓƵFaculty Career Achievement Award established in 2015 recognizes one individual each year for remarkable contributions across the scope of a career by a tenured and currently serving ÁñÁ«ÊÓƵfaculty member who has contributed to the teaching, scholarship, and service missions of the University.
The Selection Committee appointed annually by the Provost will consist of the Director of the Center for Teaching Excellence, the Dean of Graduate Studies, a current or former Faculty Senate President, one Ford Fellowship recipient, and one Altshuler Teaching Fellowship recipient. This committee will forward their recommendation to the Provost by March 1st and the award will be announced during the Founders Weekend Celebration at SMU.
In recognition of each recipient’s contributions to the academic and ÁñÁ«ÊÓƵcommunities, a scholarship for one entering first-year student will be named in honor of the faculty member.
