Professor of the Year

The ASU Parents Association (ASUPA) Professor of the Year is an annual award that spotlights the contributions of excellent ASU professors. This endowed professorship, presented by the ASUPA, honors those who best exemplify a passion for teaching and who excel in both undergraduate teaching and in their area of research and/or creative activity. The award promotes a culture that values and rewards members of the academic community who also contribute substantially to scholarship and undergraduate education.

Nominations for the 2010 Professor of the Year award are closed. Thank you to the ASU faculty, staff and students that participated. Supporting documentation must be submitted, confidentially, no later than March 22, 2010. Only tenured faculty may be eligible for this award.
