Faculty Deeds Recognized

Seventy faculty members were honored for their service to the campus and community during a special April 4 reception in their honor.

The honorees were nominated by their department chairs and deans for their extraordinary service to students, the university and the community over the past year. Such service includes activities outside of normal teaching responsibilities, like mentoring or advising, leadership in the area of collegial governance and/or professionally related service activities in the local, state, national and international community.

On behalf of the students, colleagues and community members who benefit from their service, “We thank you,” Sheryl I. Fontaine, this year’s Faculty Leadership in Collegial Governance Award recipient, told the honorees.

Steven N. Murray, interim provost and vice president for academic affairs, added: “To be recognized for service is quite an accomplishment.”
