Ringer Faculty Development Award

The Raymond and Ruth Ringer Faculty Development Award, established in the Spring of 2008, is a faculty administered program designed to honor a faculty member who is actively engaged in exceptional scholarly research or professional development, and who would benefit from a monetary award for professional development or travel expenses. The person selected for this honor will receive an honorarium of $1000 and a framed certificate recognizing this accomplishment.

All full-time teaching faculty are eligible. Nominations by self, students, colleagues, department heads, or other individuals aware of the significance of the participant's research or professional development are encouraged.
