Overview
The University Honors Program recognizes outstanding Honors students, faculty, and staff members at the annual Honors Awards Ceremony.
Exceptional Honors students can be nominated for one or more of the following Honors Awards. These awards are given to Honors students with a strong GPA and who demonstrate outstanding leadership at the university or in the community:

In addition to the above, we also present the following recognitions:

Past recipients have distinguished themselves through a record of academic achievement, remarkable research or creative work, including some who have presented notable papers or other significant academic projects (such as multimedia, performing arts or business presentations) at conferences or competitions on campus or beyond AU.
- Outstanding Leadership in the Honors Community -- This award is given to the student(s) who have demonstrated oustanding leadership in Honors Program activities.
- Honors Faculty of the Year Award -- This award is given to the faculty member for his/her contribution to Honors teaching.
