First Honors College Distinguished Professorships: Applications Due April 1

The WSU Honors College in partnership with the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) has established two Honors College Distinguished Professorships. Both two-year appointments will begin August 16. Applications and nominations are currently being sought.

These new positions will be awarded to faculty members holding tenured or tenure-track positions in CAS who have a demonstrated track record of teaching, research, and service.

One position will be awarded to a faculty member with expertise in the social sciences; the second will be awarded to a faculty member with expertise in the sciences.

The Honors College Distinguished Professors will have all of their teaching responsibilities in the Honors College.

Individual faculty members who wish to be considered for an Honors College Distinguished Professorship must submit an application by April 1. Nominations are strongly encouraged.

Applicants will be judged on their teaching excellence and their potential for contributions to the Honors College and the College of Arts and Sciences.  Applications will be reviewed and evaluated by the deans and associate deans of both colleges. Final decisions will be made by the deans and communicated to the applicants by the Office of the Provost.

More information and details about application requirements and submissions are available at https://honors.wsu.edu.
