The Faculty Honors Reception is an annual celebration to honor 91探花faculty members who have achieved the highest levels of distinction in their fields in the past year.

“The awards, inductions and prizes we are celebrating represent the pinnacle of scholarly and academic achievement,鈥� President Cauce said. “They also reflect the incredible talent, energy and dedication that makes those honored such extraordinary and valued members of the faculty.”
