The College Faculty Awards for Excellence program, started in 2005 and continuing through 2009, provides campus presidents with the means for rewarding faculty achievements “above and beyond the normal requirements of the individual’s position(s)” and that address outcomes that are connected to student learning.

The CFAE program is a campus-based program.  Most guidelines and procedures are developed and implemented  by campus-based committees.
