The Excellence in Academic Outreach Award was established to honor tenure-track and tenured faculty who exemplify UT’s land-grant mission by using intellectual capital to benefit the citizens of Tennessee.
The award recognizes extraordinary contributions of faculty to the public that occur as an outgrowth of academic pursuits and are related to the university’s academic mission. Selection is based on demonstrated outstanding contributions to the public stemming from the academic expertise of the nominee and the award is presented annually at the Academic Honors Banquet, which is hosted by the Office of the Provost.
