Via Sapientiae Award
The Via Sapientiae Award is the highest academic award that the university can bestow upon a member of its community. This award recognizes both faculty and staff members who have made distinctive and extraordinary contributions to the university throughout their professional lives. Recipients must have contributed a minimum of 15 years of service to the university, and nominations are made at the time of retirement, or posthumously.
