Years of Faculty Service

Each year the College of Arts & Sciences honors the steadfast dedication the A&S faculty and staff have to the University, the College and their individual departments. They give countless hours in service to the community, put on literally hundreds of lectures, symposiums, conferences, workshops, performances and exhibits, and obtain millions of dollars in research funding. At the heart of it all, however, is a collective commitment to the educational well-being of our approximately 9,000 students.

This year, 16 different faculty members from 10 different departments who together have put in a whopping 495 years of service were recognized for their hard work and commitment to the College of Arts & Sciences, and the University of Louisville./
