FCAT Excellence Awards

The Faculty of Communication, Art, and Technology (FCAT) is home to a remarkable community of faculty, staff, and alumni. To honor the exceptional work of our members, we established the FCAT Excellence Awards. The FCAT Research Excellence Awards were launched in 2018, and in 2021, we expanded the awards to include Teaching, Staff, and Alumni categories, further recognizing the outstanding contributions of our community.
