Faculty and Staff Commendations
Each year Miami asks graduating students (undergraduate and graduate students) to complete a survey regarding their experience at Miami. Students are specifically asked about faculty or staff members who made a positive impact on their learning and development while at Miami. Miami personnel that are singled out are sent a letter commending them for their service and influence. Listed below are the top 100 most-commended faculty for the past two years.
