Faculty - Recognition

The schools and colleges have individual means for recognizing excellence in teaching and research as well as for acknowledging achievements of staff and students. The categories listed below are University wide forms of recognition.

Meredith Professorship for Teaching Excellence
A substantial bequest from the estate of Dr. L. Douglas Meredith, a 1926 graduate of the College of Arts and Sciences, allowed Chancellor Kenneth A. Shaw to create the Laura J. and L. Douglas Meredith Professorships in 1995, to recognize and reward outstanding teaching at Syracuse University.

Teaching Recognition Award Sponsored by the Meredith Professors
The Teaching Recognition Award Sponsored by the Meredith Professors is an award program sponsored by the Meredith Professors to benefit non-tenured faculty members. Its specific goals are to recognize excellence in teaching and to encourage a culture of collegial mentoring among faculty members.

Chancellor’s Citation Awards
Recipients of the Chancellor’s Citation Awards are chosen from nominations submitted by faculty, staff, and students of the University Community. A selection committee comprised of faculty and staff from various units across campus reviews the nominations.

United Methodist Scholar/Teacher of the Year Award
The Board of Higher Education and Ministry of the United Methodist Church has sponsored the United Methodist Scholar/Teacher of the Year Award at Syracuse University each year since 1982 to recognize the teaching and scholarship of an outstanding professor. This award gives explicit emphasis to the dual nature of a faculty member’s responsibilities as a scholar or creative artist and as a teacher. In the fall semester of the academic year, the Chancellor selects the recipient.

Named, Distinguished, and Endowed Professors
This is a list of faculty who hold named, distinguished, and endowed professorships, who through their leadership have advanced our scholarly mission.
