Faculty Affairs

Shannon Center Mid-Career Fellows Program

Since 1994, the Shannon Center for Advanced Studies endowment has been used to support outstanding faculty members at the University. In 2023, Executive Vice President and Provost Ian Baucom launched a new program to recognize excellent faculty members who are in the middle of their academic careers. Nominated by their deans, each Shannon Center Mid-Career Fellow receives funding to advance their research, scholarship, or special projects.

Faculty Open House

The Faculty Affairs Team in the Office of the Provost invites all faculty to an open house gathering to thank faculty for all that they have done to support students over the past year and to be in community and reflection with one another. Coffee and refreshments will be served. Free onsite parking is available if it is too far to walk.

Faculty Emeriti Reports

The honorary rank of professor emeritus or associate professor emeritus may be conferred upon senior academic faculty at the time of their retirement from the University to honor extraordinary contributions over the course of their careers.

These faculty are former associate or full professors with at least ten years of service who have been nominated by their department chair and dean, and approved by the provost, president, and the Board of Visitors.
