Honoring SUNY Distinguished Professors
The Office for Faculty Affairs oversees the nomination of SUNY Distinguished Professors, the highest rank in the SUNY System.
The distinction of SUNY Distinguished Professor is attained through extraordinary contributions to, and impact on, the candidate’s field of study, often evidenced by significant research and/or creative activity. The work must be of such character that it has the potential to elevate the standards of scholarship or creative activity of colleagues, both within and beyond their academic fields.
