Emil Usibelli Awards

NOMINATIONS FOR 2024 DEADLINE: February 13, 2024 - 2024 NOMINATION SUBMISSION FORM LINK

The Emil Usibelli Distinguished Teaching, Research and Public Service Awards have been presented annually to three faculty members each year since 1992.  These three $10,000 awards go to individuals who display extraordinary excellence in teaching, research and public service—the areas representing the tripartite mission of the University of Alaska Fairbanks.  Individuals receiving the awards will be exemplary in their contributions to the discovery, communication and use of knowledge.

Who is Eligible for the Emil Usibelli Awards?

All full- and part-time faculty who have at least five years of service at UAF are eligible for nomination.  Adjunct faculty who have served at least five years are eligible.  Emeritus and emerita faculty are eligible as long as they have at least a part-time appointment at UAF.  Research, clinical, and other ‘term’ faculty are similarly eligible for nomination.  Affiliate and other faculty who are located at UAF, but whose salaries are not paid by UAF (e.g., McGuire faculty), are also eligible as long as they meet the requirement of a minimum of five years of full- or part-time service at UAF.
