Emil Usibelli Awards

NOMINATIONS FOR 2025 DEADLINE: FEBRUARY 28, 2025 

 

 

The Emil Usibelli Distinguished Teaching, Research and Public Service Awards have been presented annually to three faculty members each year since 1992.  These three $10,000 awards go to individuals who display extraordinary excellence in teaching, research and public service—the areas representing the tripartite mission of the University of ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ Fairbanks.  Individuals receiving the awards will be exemplary in their contributions to the discovery, communication and use of knowledge.

Who is Eligible for the Emil Usibelli Awards?
