Excellence in Research, Scholarly and Creative Activities Awards

The CAS Excellence in Research, Scholarly and Creative Activities Award is based on peer and self-nominations solicited from CAS faculty. Selections are based on the quality of materials submitted. This award was established in 2004 and historically recognized faculty from each of the College’s divisions. Beginning in 2018, it was determined that only one faculty or academic staff member from the College would be selected for the prestigious recognition.
