Evan Pugh University Professors
Penn State's official criteria, on which a committee of seven members judges a candidate on their “research publications, creative work or both, have been of the highest quality over a period of time, and [has shown] evidence of having contributed significantly to the education of students who later achieve recognition for excellence in the candidate's discipline or interdisciplinary area." The clause concerning students was added in 1973, after the first nine Evan Pugh University Professors had been appointed, to provide, said the Board of Trustees, "a more realistic program for the recognition of outstanding professors."
