KSU Faculty Awards

KSU is incredibly proud of its faculty and their accomplishments. Many of our faculty boast national and international recognition for their leadership and innovation in their teaching, scholarship and creative activity, and other professional endeavors. Thanks to our robust faculty recognition program, we have historically recognized our faculty with awards in several categories.

Academic Affairs is pleased to announce the 2024-2025 KSU Faculty Awards, managed by the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning.

Our rigorous selection process involves an initial selection at the college level, culminating with each Dean nominating their outstanding candidates. University wide committees with faculty representation from each college then review the finalists’ nominations and select the winners.
