Year-End Faculty Honors (April 25, 2008)

To the Campus Community:

As the academic year comes to a close, I am pleased to announce that the following members of the Rutgers-Camden faculty and staff have received honors for demonstrated excellence in teaching, service, and research:

The annual Provost’s Awards for Teaching Excellence will be presented to Dr. Ana Laguna (assistant professor, CCAS-Spanish), Dr. Naomi Marmorstein (associate professor, CCAS-psychology), and Dr. Maureen Morrin (associate professor, SBC-marketing).   In each case, the selection committee noted the exemplary commitment to exceptional teaching displayed by the recipients. 

Drs. Laguna and Marmorstein will receive their awards during the Arts and Sciences Honors Convocation on May 15, while Dr. Morrin will receive her award during the School of Business commencement ceremony on May 22.

The annual Lindback Foundation Award for Distinguished Teaching will be presented to Dr. Bill Whitlow (professor, CCAS-psychology), who was cited for his dedication to students and his innovation in teaching.  He will receive his award during the Arts and Sciences Honors Convocation on May 15.

The Outstanding Faculty Award presented by the Rutgers University-Camden Alumni Association will be awarded to Dr. Sam Rabinowitz (associate dean and associate professor, SBC—management) and Dr. Joseph Schiavo (instructor, CCAS—fine arts).  Dr. Rabinowitz will receive his award during the School of Business Honors Ceremony this evening; Dr. Schiavo will receive his award during the Arts and Sciences Honors Convocation on May 15.

These awards, which do not reflect the myriad honors bestowed by external organizations throughout the year, are indicative of the extraordinary quality and commitment of the faculty and staff at Rutgers-Camden.  Please join me in congratulating our colleagues on a job well done.

Margaret Marsh

Interim Provost
