The Faculty Council of Community Colleges encourages the participation of New York Community Colleges in the State University of New York Awards Programs.
The Distinguished Professorships honor faculty who have attained the highest level of performance as teachers and as recognized professionals in their field.
Each campus recognizes their best and brightest with Chancellor's Awards for Teaching, Professional Service, Librarianship, Faculty Service, and Scholarship and Creative Activities.
Each campus recognizes the dedicated adjunct faculty whose accomplishments rise to the level of the stated award criteria.
This is a system-level honor and recognition conferred on a campus for outstanding contributions to the advancement of shared governance.
Funding is awarded for intercampus conferences in various disciplines.
Each year at its Spring Plenary, the FCCC selects an individual to receive the Distinguished Service Award. This individual is someone who has proven to be an advocate for community colleges and their mission.
