I want to encourage everyone to thank our faculty, not just this week, but every day, for the great contributions they make to our university, state, nation and world.”

During Faculty Appreciation Week, faculty can participate in special events, receive free coffee and get discounts at Hog Heaven and the campus bookstore.

In addition, faculty can enter drawings to receive prizes including:
