University of North Texas 
Faculty, Staff & Student Recognition
HPS faculty and staff have several opportunities for their hard work and achievements to be recognized. As described below, these include HPS-specific awards as well as those offered by the university. For some of these awards, self-nominations are acceptable while others require a colleague to nominate you, so if this is something of interest please let someone know you are interested in being nominated. Each award has a different set of requirements - from personal statements, to CVs, to letters of support from others - so be sure to have all the materials together prior to submitting your packet. The due dates also are unique to each award so be sure to review the information carefully.
