On May 12, Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Lora Bracy Bailey hosted a Faculty Excellence Recognition Ceremony honoring faculty members and researchers for achievements in teaching, research and service.

The ceremony also recognized the inaugural cohort of Provost's Fellows, a new leadership initiative designed to engage outstanding faculty members in advancing academic excellence, innovation and institutional transformation across UVI.
Award recipients were selected through a competitive nomination and evaluation process led by UVI's academic deans.
