The One UP Professorial Chair and Faculty Grant Awards recognize UP faculty members who exhibit outstanding performance in two of the three core areas: teaching, research, and public service. More than a title, this distinction reflects years of consistent excellence, meaningful impact, and a strong commitment to advancing the Universityโ€™s mandate across these pillars.

Your mentees and colleagues experience this excellence firsthand through your guidance, the standards you uphold, and the example you consistently set. Your Seafood PRIME Lab Family is very proud of you, Maโ€™ams and Sirs ๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿฅฐ
