Each year at graduation, Emory University presents its highest awards for excellence in teaching. The awards are given to members of the faculties of the college, the graduate schools, and the professional schools of the university.
The Emory Williams Awards were originally established in 1972 by Mr. Emory Williams, an emeritus trustee and distinguished graduate of Emory College Class of 1932. These awards honor faculty for fostering participation, inquiry and creative expression in the classroom; proving a model for teaching and scholarship; and serving as a mentor to students. The awards for the professional schools, particularly, are designed to recognize a person who conveys in the classroom and exemplifies in life and service the very highest standards for the profession.
The recipients of these awards are selected by the Deans at their respective schools. Emory College has three slots while the other schools have one slot each.
For more information, contact Carol Flowers in the Office of the Senior Vice Provost for Academic Affairs.
