Spring Brunch, With Inaugural Faculty Development Grant Recipients
May 4, 2014
A total of 90 retirees, spouses, partners, and campus supporters attended the brunch and joined President David Wagner in honoring our first Faculty Development Grant recipients, Michelle Dang, Nursing, and Sharon Furtek, Psychology.
The Faculty Development Grants will provide two awards of $500 each to junior faculty recommended by their dean, without their knowledge, and selected by a committee of retirees. This program was approved by the board earlier this year following yearlong discussions with the board and with appropriate campus entities. The selection committee includes Emeritus Deans Felicenne Ramey (Chair) and Nancy Tooker; and Emeritus Associate Deans Mary Jane Lee, Nick Burnett, and Laurel Heffernan. We had a pleasant surprise when we learned that the deans of our first award recipients were so impressed with the program they decided to match our $500 awards. The Board thanks David Wagner for successfully shepherding this program to fruition.
Brunch Committee members Linda Martin (Chair), Jean Torcom, Evelyn Bradley-Owens, Nick Burnett and Nancy Fox planned a very successful event. Thanks to event photographers Larry Glasmire and Felicenne Ramey, we have these photos to remember the event and to share with others. Finally, thanks to Nick Burnett for donating the Prosecco!
