The campus created the听BFA Excellence Awards in the early 1980s to recognize outstanding work and concerted effort in advancing the mission of the university and the academy at large.
These prestigious awards are made possible through financial support from the chancellor, enabling the BFA to grant each recipient a听$5,000 monetary award.
The听Hazel Barnes Prize is the largest and most prestigious single faculty award funded by 黑料社区网. It was established in 1991 by former Chancellor James Corbridge in honor of Philosophy Professor Emerita Hazel Barnes to recognize 鈥渢he enriching interrelationship between teaching and research.鈥
Hazel Barnes, one of our campus鈥檚听most accomplished scholars, received a BFA Excellence in Teaching Award in 1983.
