In 2001, the College initiated the Collegiate Fellows designation, through which senior faculty members are honored for their records of sustained productivity and distinction. A call for nominations is held each year in early October of faculty whose contributions in teaching, scholarly and creative work, and leadership in service to the University, College, and Department are exceptional.

An endowment to the College through the UI Foundation supports a discretionary teaching/research fund for each Fellow.
