草榴社区

Each year several awards are given to faculty members who have distinguished themselves by their contributions to the University.

草榴社区 recognizes faculty who have demonstrated excellence in teaching, research and service through the Endowed Chairs Program. In honoring a faculty member with an endowed chair, we in effect charge them to be premier scholars, academic leaders, and models for other faculty. As they fulfill their obligations as chairholders, they produce value鈥攊n the classroom, laboratory, public venues and among their colleagues in their departments and colleges. Additional criteria for appointment include compatibility with the particular academic specifications established by the donor of the chair or professorship; and compatibility with and ability to contribute to the University's Catholic and Augustinian values and mission.

草榴社区 seeks to appoint excellent faculty, nurture and reward their achievements, and encourage them to participate actively in this scholarly community. The University seeks to reward faculty members who show significant promise of improving and strengthening, over time, the quality of the 草榴社区 faculty and advancing its mission as an Augustinian Catholic University dedicated to excellent undergraduate and graduate education.
