Faculty Research Lecturer Award
The Faculty Research Lectureship is awarded annually to the faculty
member determined to be the most distinguished for research or
other creative achievement. Candidates are nominated by their
peers, and the final selection is made by an Academic Senate committee
consisting of the previous 5 Faculty Research Lecturers. This award is
considered to be the highest honor the UCSB faculty can bestow on one
of its members.
Plous Award
The Plous Award was established to honor Harold J. Plous, an Assistant
Professor in UCSB's Department of Economics until his untimely death in
1957. The award is presented annually to an Assistant Professor from
the humanities, social sciences or natural sciences. Selection is based
on outstanding performance and promise as measured by creative action
and contribution to the intellectual life of the college community.
Distinguished Teaching Award
The Distinguished Teaching Award acknowledges the efforts of Senate
faculty members who have successfully united teaching and research.
Non-Senate faculty are judged on their excellence in teaching and their
contributions to the teaching mission of the University.
Outstanding Graduate Mentor Award
Mentoring graduate students is a vital component of our mission as
a research university; it includes training graduate students for
careers in research and teaching and preparing them to meet the
highest professional and ethical standards as scholars and educators.
The Outstanding Graduate Mentor Award will recognize the
contributions of faculty whose mentoring is considered exemplary.
Outstanding Teaching Assistant Award
Each year, teaching assistants play a vital role enhancing the teaching
mission of the University. The Outstanding Teaching Assistant Award
recognizes the contributions of graduate students to the teaching and
learning process of UC Santa Barbara.
