So what happens at FSU after you win a prestigious external award?

Once you alert Peggy Wright-Cleveland about your award, your award will be celebrated either in social media or via the University Communications press outlets. If your award qualifies, Peggy Wright-Cleveland will request a copy of your award letter and she will activate a salary change on your behalf through the Extraordinary Accomplishments Program. In 2013, FSU inaugurated the Extraordinary Accomplishments Program to increase the recognition and appreciation of faculty winning prestigious external awards by providing a permanent salary increase or a one-time bonus.
