Jim is the recipient of a 2016 Fulbright Specialist Grant (Colombia), and the 2019 Paul Ziegler Presidential Award for Excellence in Scholarship at Assumption University. In addition to writing a monthly column for the Chronicle for Higher Education, he also edits a series of books on teaching and learning in higher education for West Virginia University Press. Jim and his wife formed the Lang Family Foundation, which provides grants to non-profit organizations dedicated to the alleviation of poverty and homelessness, support for the environment and the arts, and funding for libraries and public education.
