Distinguished and University Professor Nominations Sought

Now in its fifth year, nominations are being accepted for two titles recognizing the achievements of some of Michigan Tech’s most outstanding faculty members.

Distinguished Professor
The Distinguished Professor title recognizes outstanding faculty members who have made substantial contributions to the University and their discipline, but are not presently recognized through an endowed position or faculty fellowship. Deans are encouraged to acknowledge the achievements of distinguished professors by contributing discretionary funds to support the recipients’ research, teaching or outreach.

University Professor
The University Professor title recognizes faculty members who have made outstanding scholarly contributions to the University and their discipline over a substantial period of time. The recipients of this position will receive $10,000 annually from the Office of the Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs, which can be used to support research and/or creative work. In addition, deans are encouraged to supplement each university professor’s salary with an annual bonus of $5,000.

Nominations for both positions must be submitted to your respective dean by Oct. 15. Nomination packets will be reviewed by the Deans Council and an advisory committee organized by the president. Eligibility and application requirements and additional information can be found online.
