SILS Award for Teaching Excellence
In 1995 Chancellor Paul Hardin and Dean Barbara Moran established the SILS Award for Teaching Excellence. The award recognizes one faculty member, who is selected by students within the school, for outstanding teaching. It is presented at the annual spring commencement ceremony.
Dean's Achievement Award
This annual award is presented to one information science student and one library science student who produce the highest quality masters' papers each year. The papers are judged by a faculty committee. A cash prize accompanies the honor, which is intended to encourage student research and writing.
Outstanding Service to the School Award
This annual award is presented by the SILS Alumni Association, which asks members of the faculty to select a student who has contributed outstanding service to the school and his or her fellow students.
Distinguished Alumni Award
Established in 1981, this award recognizes alumni who have demonstrated outstanding professional library or information science achievements at national, state or local levels, or who have provided outstanding service to SILS or its Alumni Association. Number of years in the profession does not alone determine a candidate's qualification.
