Faculty Awards

Inaugurated in 1983, the College Faculty Research Award, now the Ellen A. Wartella Distinguished Research Award, is presented at the fall commencement ceremony.  Research articles that are submitted for the competition are considered on their major contributions in terms of conceptual innovations; contribution to the literature in this field; and the methodological, pedagogical, or policy-related advances or contributions made.  A committee comprised of faculty from across the College selects the recipients.
