Faculty Awards and Recognitions

Honors Excellence in Teaching Awards (Sponsored by the Honors College)

The Honors College is committed to recognizing excellence in teaching and mentorship among the faculty of Texas A&M University-Texarkana. Beginning in 2016, the then-Academic Honors Program began sponsoring awards for teaching excellence in categories for tenured/tenure-track faculty, non-tenure track faculty, and a special award for mentoring students. These awards are open to all faculty at the university and are chosen by a committee comprised primarily of Honors College students from across disciplines. Awardees are recognized at the annual Honors Banquet at the end of the Spring semester.
