Iowa's faculty includes three winners of the Pulitzer Prize and inductees to many of the nation's most distinguished scholarly academies. Other UI professors have been recognized for their community service or research efforts, and UI students and faculty members annually grant one of the University's highest honors, the Collegiate Teaching Award, to professors who have shown an extraordinary talent for teaching and a dedication to students that extends beyond the classroom.

It's from these ranks that we've selected a few Iowa professors for you to meet.
