Nominate an Outstanding RIT Faculty or Staff Member
Do you know an RIT faculty or staff member who demonstrates outstanding leadership in building community, expanding opportunity, and fostering success? Nominations are now open for the 2026 Isaac L. Jordan Sr. Faculty and Staff Awards.
Isaac L. Jordan Sr., RIT’s first chairperson of the Commission for Promoting Pluralism, was committed to social and economic equality and represented the best of the human spirit—compassionate, fair, and dedicated to promoting a sense of community among all people. These university-wide awards continue his legacy by honoring those who carry out this important work.
Each year, up to two awards may be presented: one to an RIT faculty member and one to an RIT staff member. Eligible nominees must be regular university employees who have completed at least three years of continuous service. Temporary faculty, including adjunct faculty, are not eligible.
Learn more about the award, eligibility, and Isaac L. Jordan Sr.’s legacy on the RIT Scholarships and Awards webpage.
