2015 Faculty Awards

May 11, 2015

staff & faculty portraitsThe University’s 2015 Faculty Awards were presented on Tuesday, May 5, at the Faculty Awards Dinner, with the following results:

  • The James Culligan Award, established in 1953 in memory of a dedicated servant of the University and presented annually to a faculty member in recognition of distinguished service, was presented to Norah Martin, philosophy. She was noted as “a wonderful teacher, a creative and wide-ranging scholar, a consummate voice for reason and judgement in every imaginable area, a model of selfless service,” and much more. Winners of the Culligan Award wear the medal with their academic regalia, as a sign of the University’s highest faculty honor.
  • The Deans’ Award for Faculty Leadership, presented annually to a tenured faculty member who exemplifies, in an extraordinary way, the qualities of teaching and scholarship described in the University’s Articles of Administration for appointment, advancement in rank, and tenure, was presented to Ellen Lippman, Pamplin School of Business.
  • The Outstanding Teaching Award, presented annually by the University’s Committee on Teaching and Scholarship to a faculty member who is a particular exemplar of the University’s commitment to superb teaching, was presented to Mark Pitzer, psychological sciences.
  • The Outstanding Scholarship Award, presented annually by the University’s Committee on Teaching and Scholarship to a faculty member who presents unusually significant and meritorious achievement in professional scholarship during the past two academic years, and whose work substantively enhances the effectiveness of his or her classroom teaching, was presented to Martin Monto, sociology and social work.
