What are Honorific Awards?
Honorific awards are fellowships, memberships, accolades, and/or prizes that are bestowed by associations external to the University to recognize excellence in teaching, research, and service.
The Office of Research and Sponsored Programs (ORSP) has dedicated staff to support to our faculty through the Honorifics process.听听
