Faculty leadership, service and mentoring honored at luncheon
At a time when academic freedom is being challenged across the country, it is especially important to recognize the efforts of faculty whose efforts bespeak the importance of academics’ contributions to society, Dr. Bob Boughton, chair of Faculty Senate, said at the annual Faculty Recognition Luncheon April 13.
Three outstanding faculty members were honored at the event:
Faculty Mentor Recognition went to Dr. Dan Madigan, English, the former director of the Center for Teaching, Learning and Technology (CTLT) and now the interim director of the Scholarship of Engagement office. He has taught at BGSU since 1990.
“Dan’s history as an educator, leader and director of the CTLT, combined with his great people-to-people interaction skills, makes him an incredible networking resource,” wrote Nina Assimakopoulos, musical arts. “His support in providing access to pertinent written information, organizations and people is generous, far-reaching and incredibly valuable.”
Recognition for Chair/School/Director Leadership went to Dr. Madhu Rao, chair of the Department of Applied Statistics and Operations Research in the College of Business Administration.
“What is striking about Madhu as a leader is that he instills in his department members and others around him the values of citizenship, responsibility, productivity and support of others in achieving department, college and University goals,” wrote Dr. Nancy Merritt, interim dean of the college.
Recognition for Community Involvement went to Dr. Laura Landry-Meyer, School of Family and Consumer Sciences, who brings absolute commitment and considerable professional expertise to helping community organizations that meet the needs of children and families.
“In many ways, Laura’s passion for teaching and impacting the lives of students is similar to her passion for service as they are both about bettering the lives of others,” wrote Michelle Clossick, former BGSU employee and now director of the Cocoon Shelter for abused women and their children.
