External Awards
UIC aspires to be the nation’s premier urban public research university and one of the indicators for membership in the Association of American Universities (AAU) is membership in national academies.
Below is a list of UIC faculty elected to national and other honorific academies and prestigious fellowships and awards. Part of the effort of this committee is to identify current faculty members who have received fellowships and awards.
