Elevate Your Impact

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

When our faculty members are recognized for their excellent work and impact, it elevates the university and the faculty member, positioning them for success and broadcasting their impact beyond campus. Many opportunities exist to strengthen a faculty member's national and international reputation and are showcased below.

Faculty external awards.

Amplifying External Awards Program

Through the Amplifying External Awards Program, Faculty Affairs partners with each college/school to support external award nominations and incentivize the resulting recognitions as a means of elevating Texas A&M faculty.

IMPACT Summit - Block.

IMPACT Summit

To celebrate and share the impact of our faculty, we are hosting a half-day program that includes workshops for faculty to enhance their impact and showcase some of the great work being done.

Amplifying External Awards Program Purpose

The Amplifying External Awards Program is part of elevating our faculty and their impact on society, the world, and our students. Supporting faculty award nominations and recognitions communicates to faculty that they can be successful at Texas A&M and is part of a broader emphasis on faculty retention and development across campus.

Awards can be added to these categories by colleges/schools based on evidence that:

  • the award is highly selective
  • the award brings broad national/international recognition to the faculty member and university - (highly prestigious) or is a step toward attaining a highly prestigious award (Pathways)

For more information or to submit an award for consideration, contact the Faculty Awards Program at awardsprograms@tamu.edu.
