The Provost’s Awards were established in 1993 because outstanding teaching, research and service are central to the mission of Fresno State and because the dedication of our professorial faculty deserves special recognition. A new award category recognizing Outstanding Staff was added in 2024. Recipients of the Provost’s Awards provide our students with a stimulating environment that fosters learning and affirms the university as the intellectual and cultural leader of the San Joaquin Valley. The purpose of the Provost’s Awards is to honor those faculty and staff members who set new standards of excellence and represent the heart of this great university.
