Faculty Honorifics Office
External honorific awards are a critical component of faculty recognition and career development, and tie in closely to future research success. The Faculty Honorifics Office seeks to bolster recognition for U-M researchers by increasing the number, diversity, and quality of our nominations through better coordination, sharing best practices across the institution, and ensuring equitable nomination processes.
The Faculty Honorifics Office works to promote recognition of U-M faculty who are leaders in their fields and celebrate the value and impact of Michigan research.
