Extraordinary Accomplishments Program

In 2013, under the direction of then Provost Garnett Stokes, 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. Since then, under the leadership of first Provost Sally McRorie and now Provost Jim Clark, FSU’s Extraordinary Accomplishments Program has developed into a strategic tool for developing world-class scholars and maximizing national and international recognition.

The program offers salary increases for 214 Highly Prestigious awards. These awards are recognized by the AAU as markers of significant achievement and are coveted career achievements. They broaden a single scholar’s impact by expanding conversation about their work, and they signal an institution’s support of impactful career trajectories.

The program also offers salary increases or bonuses for 15 Pathway awards. These awards recognize exceptional early career accomplishment, emphasize both teaching and research, or create powerful discipline specific communities for researchers. Historically all have been effective in situating ideas and faculty careers within a broader network of influence, positioning faculty research for further development and recognition.

Adjacent to this program are individual college recognition programs for external awards. Please contact your Dean’s office for more information.

If you are the recipient of one of the awards on the accompanying lists, please alert Peggy Wright-Cleveland and send her a copy of your award letter. Dr. Wright-Cleveland will initiate a salary change on your behalf through the Extraordinary Accomplishments Program and let you know its effective date.
