Each year, IAU presents the Professor of the Year (POTY) Award and the Student of the Year (SOTY) Award.
The POTY is selected by the IAU student body. A survey listing all the IAU instructors who have taught that academic year is administered to active students to vote. Each student is authorized one vote and allowed two weeks to vote. The professor with the most votes wins. This year’s POTY recipient is Dr. Alex Sherm!
