The Civitatis Award is presented to a faculty member who has shown exemplary campus citizenship throughout a career of service at the university. The award's name derives from the Latin motto that appears on The University of Texas seal - Disciplina Praesidium Civitatis - a terse rendering of the apothegm of Mirabeau B. Lamar... "Cultivated mind is the guardian genius of democracy."
