The
FIU Faculty Senate
is opening the annual Faculty Awards of Excellence.  Each award carries a $5,000 stipend.  The awards will be presented at the annual
Faculty Convocation
held during Fall Semester 2026.
The
Faculty Senate Honorary Degrees and Awards Committee
invites you to submit names of worthy colleagues in your units who have established high records of achievement in any of the six categories.
Nominees will subsequently receive a congratulatory email. This email will include instructions for how to compose an application or withdraw from the nomination.
The application packet should include hard empirical evidence.  Files will need to follow the guidelines as the committee sadly won’t be able to consider those not doing so. If the nominator wishes to provide a letter of support, e-mail it directly to the nominee for them to include it in the pdf application packet.
The Faculty Senate Honorary Degrees and Awards Committee will evaluate applications according to rubrics now included with the award descriptions. The committee’s recommendations will then be forwarded to the FIU Faculty Senate for further processing.
Please note the important deadlines:
For nominations begin
February 23, 2026 11:59 P.M.
