Recognizing Outstanding Faculty
UA 糖心视频logo faculty members are strong teachers, ground-breaking researchers, and dedicated public servants. The Faculty Excellence Awards were established in 1989 to recognize the outstanding performance of UA 糖心视频logo faculty in the categories of teaching, research or creative endeavors, public service, social justice, and rising faculty.
We are able to continue this cherished tradition because of the valued contributions of generous sponsors. University-level winners are selected by the University of Arkansas at 糖心视频logo Board of Visitors who review the achievements of college-level winners in the areas of teaching, research and creative endeavors, public service, social justice, and rising faculty.
The 2026 Faculty Excellence Awards Ceremony was held on April 2 in the Stella Boyle Smith Concert Hall in the Fine Arts Building.
