Minnie Stevens Piper Award

The Minnie Stevens Piper Foundation will honor ten (10) professors from across the UT System for their dedication to the teaching profession and for their outstanding academic, scientific, and scholarly achievement. The purpose of this award is to give recognition to the teaching profession rather than to research, publication, administration, or other such activities, although these criteria will also be considered by the selection committee.

 Honorees will be awarded certificates naming them “Piper Professors of 2023,” a cash honoraria of $5,000, and a gold commemorative pin.

 UTRGV may nominate one faculty member to vie for this prestigious award.

 Minnie Stevens Piper Award Nomination Form

Please inform the faculty member(s) you are nominating ahead of time, so they can start preparing their full application materials, which are due on Thursday, October 27th, 2022 to the Office of Faculty Success & Diversity at faculty.success@utrgv.edu.

Your documentation should include the following:

  • Part B of the MSP Official Nomination Form.  
  • Up to five (5) letters of support from administrators, colleagues and/or current and former students.
  • Any additional material should be limited, as the state-level’s committee time does not permit review of large amounts of materials.

 All documentation should be formatted as a single PDF file and emailed to facultysuccess@utrgv.edu. Please use “2022-2023 Minnie Stevens Piper Award” as the subject line.

 For more information on the MSP Foundation, see their website.

 For questions or more information, please contact the Office of Faculty Success & Diversity at faculty.sucess@utrgv.edu
