Clark Society Endowed Faculty Award

The Clark Society Endowed Faculty Award was established by members of the Clark Society in 2020 to recognize the incredible research and creative activities of faculty who excel as teachers and scholars and prioritize engagement with students. Awardees will receive $2,500 or more to be used for teaching, research and creative programming with the ultimate goal of benefiting students. The award will recognize at least one faculty member per year with the goal of expanding the annual award to recognize the efforts of multiple faculty members across various disciplines.
