National and international awards featured
The UI’s Urbana campus is the state’s flagship institution: a classic land grant university, dedicated to its traditional excellence in education, research, and public engagement, and driven to innovate in each of these missions.

Faculty members also are well connected internationally, collaborating with other top scholars from around the world and across disciplines. They are world-renowned scholars who have been recognized with such top awards as Nobel Prizes, Pulitzer Prizes, Guggenheim Fellowships, Tony Awards, MacArthur “genius” awards, and memberships in the nation’s elite academies of arts and sciences. 

Urbana campus alumni are similarly recognized. Eleven university alumni have won Nobel Prizes and more than 150 are Guggenheim Fellows.

As a way to honor the excellence of faculty members and alumni, national and international award categories are on a new Web site, hosted by Public Affairs. Each category links to an html and Excel file highlighting Illinois faculty and alumni. These files are continually updated as new awards and their members are identified. The date of the latest update is posted next to the award and within the file.
