Faculty-Alumni Awards, begun by the Mizzou Alumni Association,
recognize the achievements of faculty and alumni. Assistant, associate
and full professors are considered for their work as teachers,
researchers and administrators. Alumni are considered for both their
accomplishments in professional life and service to their alma mater.
Established in 1956, the Distinguished Service Award honors
outstanding service by an individual whose sustained efforts and support
have added to the excellence of MU. These contributions have brought
distinction to the honoree and to MU.
Established in 1960, the Distinguished Faculty Award
honors an outstanding member of the Faculty whose continued
achievements have brought distinction to the faculty member and our
University. It is awarded on the basis of the total accomplishments of
the faculty member, with special emphasis on the faculty member’s
relationships with students.
