Faculty

This award recognizes excellence in teaching, research or advancing the interests of Lehigh University. In that context, this award recognizes exemplary student advising defined as either: a) Guiding students through their exploration and pursuit of an academic course of study; or b) Assisting students in the development and/or completion of research related to their degree program. Traditionally the University reserves this award for those who have distinguished themselves through long-term excellence or service to the institution.

Awarded for excellence in teaching or research work, or for advancing the interests of the University in any way the Trustees may select, or for a special financial need requiring aid, of which the Trustees may become aware, or for any other reason which they may deem just and proper. Traditionally the University reserves this award for those who have distinguished themselves through long-term excellence or service to the institution. Only current, full-time faculty are permitted to submit nominations for this award.

Awarded to a member of the teaching staff for distinguished teaching performed during the academic year. This award will be made to a tenured member of the faculty (professor or associate professor). Only current, full-time faculty and staff are permitted to submit nominations for this award. Only current, full-time faculty members are eligible to receive nominations for this award (retired/emeriti faculty are not eligible). The nominations will be reviewed by the Faculty Awards Committee which will submit its recommendation to the Senior Officers.

This award is given to highlight quality research and refereed scholarship in business and applied economic disciplines at Lehigh; reward those involved in distinguished research, and place research on an equal level with teaching and University service in the annual recognition of faculty achievements.

Alfred R. Glancy, Lehigh class of 1903 and distinguished Lehigh Trustee known as “The General,” set up the Alfred Noble Robinson Award to be awarded annually to a faculty member or, in exceptional cases, divided between two members of the Lehigh faculty. Previous winners of this award have shown extraordinary enthusiasm for Lehigh’s goals and priorities, often working beyond their direct area/unit on University-wide projects or committees. There is no age restriction on this award; however, nominees must be below the rank of associate professor.
