Professorship Awards

Every two years, we recognize a group of Lam Family College of Business faculty members who are nominated by their peers and selected by a committee for their outstanding performance in one of three key areas: scholarly research, teaching and community service. Through the Lam-Larsen Fund for Global Innovation, we are able to offer Distinguished Teaching Professorship Awards, Distinguished Research Professorship Awards, and Distinguished Service Professorship Awards to our faculty.

Overview of the Awards

The Distinguished Research Professorship Awards recognize faculty for their research impact, including productivity, publishing and awards, as well as societal impact, and fostering multi‐disciplinary collaborations within the Lam Family College of Business, across San Francisco State University and broader society through community engagement, research, partnerships and more.

The Distinguished Teaching Professorship Awards recognize faculty not only for excellent teaching but also for innovative instruction and significant contributions to improving the curriculum in our college.

The Distinguished Service Professorship Awards recognize faculty for their outstanding and diverse service contributions to our campus community and the general community at large
