Jensen spotlights opportunities,
challenges for faculty as academic leaders
Cristy Jensen
The annual John C. Livingston Lecture will be given by Cristy Jensen, Sacramento State professor of Public Policy and Administration, 3 p.m., Tuesday, Oct. 30, in the University Union Ballroom.
Jensen will give the lecture as the recipient of the 2007 John C. Livingston Award. Her presentation is titled, “Faculty as Academic Leaders: Our Students Are Counting on Us (Whether They Know It or Not)” and will focus on faculty responsibility in setting the curriculum for students despite pressure from industry and government to set educational agendas.
The lecture, organized by the Faculty Senate, recognizes a Sacramento State faculty member who has played an active role in the life of the University and has shown strong commitment to students while remaining active in creative and scholarly work.
Livingston was a well-respected professor of Government and a member of the Sacramento State faculty for 27 years (1954-1981). His colleagues established this award in his honor after his retirement. The genesis of the award dates to 1959 when the first Distinguished Faculty Convocation Address was given by Livingston. In 1986 the award was renamed in his honor.
