Two Thousand Fifteen
Faculty Distinction
Celebrating the awards, honors and recognition
of the Faculty of Arts & Sciences
Introduction
T
he Faculty of the Arts and Sciences at Columbia University continues to be
recognized with some of the world’s most prestigious scholarly awards and
honors. The exceptional nature of the faculty is of course familiar to the
students of the five schools that the Arts and Sciences comprises: Columbia College, the
Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, the School of General Studies, the School of the
Arts, and the School of Continuing Education. These students are the beneficiaries of
the leading-edge research and rigorous pedagogy that are the hallmarks of a Columbia
education and the work of our remarkable faculty.
Over the course of the past academic year, Arts and Sciences faculty members have
been elected to the world’s most prestigious learned societies, have been awarded
distinguished fellowships, and have received honorary degrees and countless other
scholarly accolades. These honors and recognitions affirm the world-leading stature of
our faculty and speak to the extraordinary research and learning environment that is
Columbia University in the City of New York.
