Distinguished Scholar-Teacher Award

This university-wide award honors senior faculty who, as those of outstanding scholarly accomplishment, combined with excellence in teaching, personify our image of the professorate.

The University of Maryland Distinguished Scholar-Teacher Program, established in 1978, honors a small number of faculty members each year who have demonstrated notable success in both scholarship and teaching. During the academic year, Distinguished Scholar-Teachers make a public presentation on a topic within their scholarly discipline.
