Athletics Professor of Excellence Awards

The Athletics Professor of Excellence Awards, which are funded by Athletics and come with a $15,000 honorarium, recognize professional excellence and outstanding university citizenship at the departmental, college, or university levels. Each year, six recipients are selected by a committee of faculty and administrators. Honorees hold the title for one academic year.

Athletics and academics are both vital parts of a robust campus community. The awards provide further evidence that UT is the “Everything School,” pursuing excellence in every sport and in every academic discipline. These faculty members represent the spirit of collaboration, service, and drive shared across our campus.
