Faculty Awards

The College of Humanities and Social Sciences understands the importance of recognizing its faculty members, staff, and students for excellence in teaching, leadership, and service. We appreciate all that they do and contribute to the USU community. We would not be who we are without exceptional students, the faculty who inspire them, and the staff members who make running the college possible.  

Nominations for faculty awards are due to the Dean's Office on December 14, 2012. These nominations will be reviewed by the school’s Awards Committee.
