An abbreviated list of some awards and honors include:

Tiger Spot

Paul Jackson's Tiger Spot was completed and unveiled in October 2001 but the mosaic quickly showed signs of wear. Jackson began restoration work to the landmark in April 2003 and it was re-unveiled in November 2004.[1][2] Additional repairs took place in October 2005.[3] The mosiac was covered with a tarp in August 2007.[4] A consultant concluded the mosaic was not built properly.[5][6] A series of lawsuits has resulted with no resolution as of July 2011.[7][8] Jackson accepted $125,000 to relinquish rights to the art and in May 2012, the University had it removed.[9]
