The contributions of outstanding faculty at colleges and schools of pharmacy are annually recognized with a series of awards presented at AACP meetings. Awards recognize excellence in education, research, publication and public service.

Policy on Honors, Awards and Leadership Positions

In July 2020, the AACP Board of Directors adopted a policy affirming AACP’s right to grant, defer or decline to grant an honor or award, including a leadership position, to any person. Conferral of honors and awards by AACP are privileges exercised at AACP’s discretion, and AACP expects all recipients of honors and awards to embody the highest standards of professional and personal ethical behavior. AACP will therefore not confer any honor, award or leadership position when, in its discretion, there has been a determination or credible question of unethical behavior. A determination of unethical behavior may also result in suspension or revocation of an existing honor, award or leadership position. Read the full policy.
