Elevate Your Impact

The Texas A&M campus culture hinges upon the work, innovative teaching, groundbreaking research and impactful service of our faculty. 

Developing a faculty-focused awards and recognition strategy provides Faculty Affairs the opportunity to position Texas A&M faculty for success and communicate their impact well beyond campus. Establishing a dynamic set of resources to support award achievement will make a tangible impact on faculty retention and engagement rates, inspire increased faculty recognition within their disciplines and encourage faculty to seek more prominent roles as thought-leaders within their areas of expertise.

Faculty Affairs helps faculty:

  1. Identify awards for which they are competitive.
  2. Develop individual application/nomination processes and build award plans across each faculty member's career.
  3. Identify mentors inside and outside of Texas A&M University to guide faculty as they prepare nomination materials.
