Faculty Awards
East Texas A&M University understands the importance of recognizing its faculty for their excellence and leadership in teaching, scholarship and creative activity, and service. The University appreciates all they do to contribute to our community. We could not be who we are without the faculty who inspire our students to fulfill Professor Mayo's motto: Ceaseless Industry, Fearless Investigation, Unfettered Thought, and Unselfish Service to Others.
The Faculty Awards Committee, acting under the authority of the Faculty Advisory Council, develops guidelines, establishes and implements the selection process, and provides for recognition of recipients referred to the committee.
