5 winners of the Chancellor's Excellence Award hold their certificates and wear their medallions

The Awards Programs, coordinated by Academic Affairs, aim to recognize the significant contributions and ongoing dedication of State University faculty, staff, and graduate students, as well as support their professional development.

The Chancellor's Excellence Awards are System-level honors conferred to acknowledge and provide system-wide recognition for consistently superior professional achievement and to encourage the ongoing pursuit of excellence.  The awards provide SUNY-wide recognition in six categories: Faculty Service, Librarianship, Professional Service, Scholarship and Creative Activities, Teaching, and Adjunct Teaching.

The Distinguished Faculty Programs encourage ongoing commitment to excellence, kindle intellectual vibrancy, elevate the standards of instruction, and enrich contributions to public service.

The Chancellor's Horizon Award for Faculty Research and Scholarship honors early career faculty whose scholarly or creative activities have already achieved significant recognition and, crucially, hold strong promise for field-defining impact in the future.  

The Chancellor’s Distinguished PhD Dissertation Award was created to recognize the very best PhD dissertations in the SUNY system. This award is meant to bring attention to the critical work being undertaken by the next generation of future leaders and researchers. 

The Conversations in the Disciplines (CID) grant program brings together SUNY faculty from across the system to examine new trends, address changes and challenges, and review promising research findings and pedagogical practices in a wide range of disciplines and fields.

The SUNY Shared Governance Award is a system-level honor and recognition to be conferred annually upon one SUNY campus in recognition of outstanding contributions to the advancement of shared governance. 

The Honorary Doctoral Degree is the highest form of recognition offered by the Board of Trustees of the State University of New York to persons of exceptional distinction outside the University.
