Dear Distinguished Academy Members and Guests,

It is my honor and pleasure to welcome you to The State University of New York’s Eighth Annual
Distinguished Academy Celebratory Dinner and Induction Ceremony.

On this day, we officially welcome 32 new members to the Academy, drawn from 13 campuses across the
state, and representing an extensive range of intellectual pursuits and disciplines. They demonstrate the best
qualities of SUNY and join their colleagues who excel in service, teaching, librarianship, scholarship, and
creativity. This evening, we celebrate their groundbreaking contributions to their respective fields. These new
inductees truly embody SUNY’s mission“To Learn – To Search – To Serve.”

This distinction brings with it not just honor, but responsibility. Members of the Academy carry additional
leadership responsibility and help to raise and ensure academic excellence within SUNY. In addition, they
serve as role models to SUNY at large and are called upon to provide service to both their own campus
communities as well as those throughout our system. I am confident all Distinguished Faculty will embrace
these expectations and the opportunities they present, as we continue to elevate our national profile.

Thank you for being such a significant part of the SUNY family. Your dedication to the highest principles of
your profession and your commitment to SUNY are a source of great pride and inspiration to us all.

With warm regards,

Kristina M. Johnson, PhD
Chancellor

SUNY DISTINGUISHED ACADEMY

T
         he rank of SUNY Distinguished Professor was created by the Board of Trustees in 1963
         with the first faculty member promoted to the rank in 1964. Since then 1,148 faculty
         have been honored in one of four specific categories: Distinguished Professorship,
Distinguished Service Professorship, Distinguished Teaching Professorship, and Distinguished
Librarian. SUNY’s Distinguished faculty include Nobel Laureates, National Academy members, a
Fields Medalist, a Dirac Medalist, and National Medal of Technology and Innovation winners.

It was the intent of the Board of Trustees that appointment to the Distinguished Faculty ranks
would also carry additional leadership responsibility. Distinguished faculty are expected to function
as role models and devote appropriate service to University-wide activities, both ceremonial and
professional, such as offering lectures and seminars, informing curricular development, improving
the overall academic experience of students, mentoring junior faculty, and leading inquiry into
issues of importance to SUNY and the larger society.

In 2012, at the request of Chancellor Emerita Nancy L. Zimpher, the Board of Trustees officially
created the SUNY Distinguished Academy, whose members include all Distinguished faculty
appointed by the SUNY Board of Trustees. The Distinguished Academy serves as a formal
organization to bring together many of SUNY’s most esteemed faculty and, in so doing, to
leverage the collective wisdom and expertise of its members to support academic excellence across
the State University of New York.

                         DESCRIPTIONS

         he Distinguished Faculty rank was created to encourage ongoing commitment to

T        excellence, kindle intellectual vibrancy, elevate the standards of instruction, and enrich
         contributions to public service. They demonstrate the State University’s pride and
gratitude for the consummate professionalism, groundbreaking scholarship, exceptional instruction,
and breadth and significance of service contributions of its faculty.

Appointment constitutes a promotion to the State University’s highest academic rank, and it is
conferred solely by The State University of New York Board of Trustees.

w The Distinguished Professorship is conferred upon faculty having achieved national or
  international prominence and a distinguished reputation within the individual’s chosen field
  through significant contributions to research and scholarship or through artistic performance or
  achievement in the fine and performing arts.

w The Distinguished Service Professorship is conferred upon instructional faculty having
  achieved a distinguished reputation for service not only to the campus and the University, but
  also to the community, the State of New York, or even the nation, by sustained effort in the
  application of intellectual skills drawing from the candidate’s scholarly and research interests to
  issues of public concern. It is bestowed on faculty in any of the disciplines or fields of study.

w The Distinguished Teaching Professorship is conferred upon instructional faculty for
  outstanding teaching competence at the graduate, undergraduate, or professional levels. Teaching
  mastery is to be consistently demonstrated over multiple years at the institution where the
  Distinguished Teaching Professorship is bestowed.

w The Distinguished Librarian is conferred upon librarians whose contributions have been
  transformational in creating a new information environment by providing access to information,
  sharing or networking information resources, and fostering information literacy.

w Medallion of Distinction honors a prominent individual who has enhanced the research, teaching
  or service components of the State University of New York, and she/he becomes an honorary
  member of the SUNY Distinguished Academy.
