More than two dozen Binghamton University faculty and staff have been recognized with Chancellor’s Awards for Excellence, University Awards for Excellence, Provost’s Awards and the Binghamton University Council/Foundation Award.

Chancellor’s Awards for Excellence are SUNY system-level honors that recognize individuals for consistently outstanding achievement in classified service, faculty service, librarianship, professional service, scholarship and creative activities, and teaching.

Binghamton University also recognizes exceptional work with a number of University and Provost’s Awards, as well as the Binghamton Council/Foundation Award.

“Individuals who are chosen to receive these awards for excellence are people we always count on to be outstanding in the classroom, in our research labs and serving the needs of our students and colleagues,” said President Harvey Stenger. “Whether it’s during a pandemic or during what we would consider a normal year, they continue to set a high bar and provide the foundation for Binghamton University as we continually strive to be a premier public university.”

“It’s gratifying to be able to recognize so many outstanding faculty and staff,” said Donald Nieman, executive vice president for academic affairs and provost. “I thank them for their dedication to doing exceptional work and for serving as role models for us all.”

This year’s recipients will be honored at a dinner scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 4. A separate dinner will be held for the 2020 recipients, who were not able to be feted last fall due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
