ICAI Awards
Each year, the International Center for Academic Integrity sends out a call to its membership to nominate institutions and individuals for our different awards. Recipients of ICAI's awards are traditionally recognized at the annual conference. Each award is only given in years where the Awards Committee determines that a nominee fully meets the criteria for the award. The Award Committee is apprised of ICAI Members, mainly current members of the Board of Directors, Emeritus Board Members, or active volunteers from ICAI Committees.
ICAI looks for nominations for the following awards:
- Campus of Integrity Award: Recognizes one campus or institution for its outstanding ability to create a culture of integrity during the previous academic year.
- Student of Merit Award: Given to a current student (either pre-college, undergraduate, or graduate student) who has demonstrated passion and motivation towards creating a culture of academic integrity.
- Exemplar of Integrity Award: Recognizes one individual for demonstrating courage and perseverance in championing the ideals of academic integrity in the face of opposition and adversity.
- Practitioner or Administrator of the Year: recognizes and honors academic and practitioner members of ICAI who have provided outstanding service to their institution or to the community regarding academic integrity during the past academic year or more
- Donald McCabe Research of the Year: named for Donald McCabe, founding member of ICAI and leader in academic integrity research. This award recognizes and honors an outstanding recent research project (including but not limited to dissertation research, grant research, or other scholarly work) regarding academic integrity during the past academic year or more.
- Tricia Bertram Gallant Award for Outstanding Lifetime Service: established in 2022 and named for Dr. Bertram Gallant, who has consistently gone above and beyond while working toward a culture of integrity across the globe. This award recognizes and honors academic and practitioner members of ICAI who have provided outstanding service to ICAI regarding academic integrity over their lifetimes. Award recipients represent the most influential individuals in ICAI’s efforts in academic integrity. It is the highest honor to be given by ICAI.
