Distinguished Faculty Scholars and Fellows
The title of University Distinguished Professor is a lifetime title that represents the highest honor Kansas State University can bestow on its faculty.
Tenured faculty members who have held rank for no more than five years on an accelerated path for academic distinction may be recognized as a University Outstanding Scholar.
The Coffman Chair for University Distinguished Teaching Scholars was created in 1995 to underscore Kansas State University's commitment to excellence in undergraduate teaching and learning.
Endowed positions recognize faculty distinction and accomplishments, providing support for their ongoing achievements and contributions.
University Faculty Fellows include faculty who have been appointed as fellows of professional organizations and societies or honored with fellowships from other external agencies or groups.
The Chief Academic Officers of the Big 12 universities created the Big 12 Faculty Fellowship program for the purpose of stimulating scholarly activities in the areas of teaching, research and service.
