Faculty Awards and Achievements
Teaching Excellence Award
Established in 1993, through an endowment to the University of Houston System, the Enron Teaching Excellence Award recognizes the importance of teaching to the mission of the University of Houston-Victoria (UHV). The award is given to a UHV faculty member nominated by students in the spring semester of each year in appreciation of their excellent teaching. The Teaching Excellence Award is not intended as a “teacher of the year” award; rather, it recognizes career achievements in teaching.

Research Grant Awards
The Research Grant Awards are intended to further the educational mission of the university by contributing to faculty members’ ongoing professional development, to the advancement of knowledge in their professional fields and to the visibility and credibility of the university. The Research Grant Awards are for tenured and tenure-track faculty to support pilot projects that can lead to developing and submitting proposals to external agencies for significant grant funding. These are competitive awards and an estimated four awards will be granted annually.
