The Orfalea College of Business Faculty and Staff awards are given at the end of each academic year in several categories. The Distinguished Faculty of the Year and Outstanding Faculty awards are determined by student feedback via a survey. The Emeritus Faculty Award is determined through nominations by each department’s area, with the dean’s team providing deliberations and a final decision. The Staff Member of the Year Award is based on a college-wide survey.
