The Odum School recognizes the importance of promoting our faculty for awards and honors to value accomplishments in research, teaching and service. Our goal is to make faculty broadly aware of internal and external award opportunities, and to solicit and promote the best applications for these awards. Below we list institutional and Odum School awards (and will expand this list as information becomes available). Our policy is to solicit nominations from the faculty in August for award deadlines in the upcoming cycle. Faculty may self-nominate, nominate their colleagues with permission, or be nominated by the Dean.
