DENVER - The annual Faculty Excellence awardees were announced in April. Then, the Denver Campus honorees were recognized Sept. 7 during a reception in the North Classroom atrium.
Participants were welcomed by Laura Goodwin, associate vice chancellor for Academic Affairs. "Your contributions are awesome and inspiring."
Provost Rod Nairn said this is "an event I really look forward to every year. We come together to honor faculty who've made outstanding contributions over the last year in teaching, research and creative activities, librarianship, faculty mentoring and service."
Nairn reviewed the process through which recipients are selected from peer nominations. Honorees in each category were recognized and presented with certificates. As Nairn described the achievements of the top awardee in each category, they stepped forward to receive a commemorative piece.
