About Dr. David J. King:
Dr. David J. King served as Vice President for Academic Affairs at Mason from 1982 until his retirement in January 1988. This was a time of significant growth and change at the university. Dr. King's leadership during this time helped bring Mason into the national spotlight.

There were many issues that Dr. King believed in and worked for, but none was more important to him than teaching - both his own and that of others. Throughout his administrative career he searched for ways to support and improve undergraduate instruction. One of his major accomplishments was the institution of a quantitative teaching evaluation process. He also brought George Mason national attention through his energetic recruitment of outstanding faculty members. This award, inaugurated in 2001, honors his memory and the legacy he left at Mason.
