University Professor Peter F. Orazem has been selected to receive the 2022 Faculty/Staff Inspiration Award. He is among five individuals to be honored with the award this year.

The Alumni Association established this award in 2011 as a way for former ISU students to recognize current or former ISU faculty or staff members who had a significant influence in their lives as students at ISU. Orazem was nominated by former student Deepak Premkumar.

The Faculty/Staff Inspiration Award is funded by earnings from the Nancy and Richard Degner Alumni Association Endowment.

Orazem will be honored and recognized at the ISU Alumni Association Board of Director’s annual meeting and reception held on the evening of Friday, May 20 in the ISU Alumni Center. He will have the opportunity to meet the other Faculty/Staff Inspiration award recipients, the alumni board of directors and members of the ISU Alumni Association staff.
