AWARDS

President's Faculty Fellowship

The President’s Faculty Fellowship is awarded annually to an outstanding professional educator in the LCTCS. The purpose of the fellowship is to ensure that capable people within the System have opportunities to prepare themselves for top-level management and instructional positions within the LCTCS. This can be accomplished by earning two types of doctoral degrees: community college leadership/higher education degrees or discipline-based degrees.
