Throughout his more than fifty years at the university, Parker has won multiple honors, including the Daniel G. Aldrich, Jr. Distinguished
University Service Award (1980 and 2008) and the UCI Medal (2009), UCI's highest award. For his teaching, Parker has twice won the School of Physical Sciences Outstanding Teacher Award.
248:
At UCI, Parker has been
Associate Vice Chancellor (1984 to 2000), Vice Chancellor for Research (2000-2006), Dean of Graduate Studies (2000 to 2006), Chair of the Department of Physics and Astronomy (2007 to 2012), and president of the university's Irvine Campus Housing Authority (1983-1990).
