Faculty Achievement Awards
Faculty excellence is the heart of an outstanding university. In 1964, the ASU Alumni Association established two awards: the Distinguished Teacher Award for exceptional performance in the classroom, and the Faculty Achievement Award for contributions through research. Faculty achievement, however is never solely the province of one category ­– great teachers also perform research and provide valuable service.

In 1993, recognizing that great universities are judged by their strength in service as well as teaching and research, the Alumni Association renamed the award categories and added a third award to recognize the scope of faculty contributions. Today, faculty achievement is recognized for contributions in teaching, research and service. Award winners will receive a monetary stipend for their achievements. Funds for the awards are raised through the donations received from members of the Founders’ Society.
