Nominations are now open and are due by 5 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time October 6, 2022. Honorees will be announced in January 2023.
Distinguished Professor
Distinguished Professor is the most prestigious appointment offered by IU in recognition of outstanding scholarship, artistic or literary distinction, or other achievements that have won significant recognition by peers. This honor serves as an acknowledgement by the university of an IU faculty member’s outstanding accomplishments within their academic discipline.
In recognition of the prestige of this appointment, awardees will receive a formal parchment and an annual salary supplement. If not already a member, those appointed as distinguished professor will join the IU Alliance of Distinguished and Titled Professors.
University Teaching Awards
IU is fortunate to have many outstanding teachers who demonstrate excellence in a wide range of pedagogical activities. The University Teaching Awards recognize IU faculty and graduate students from all IU campuses who have excelled in classroom engagement, pedagogy and curriculum development.
