Unwavering Commitment: Celebrating Excellence at the College of Public Health’s Annual Faculty and Staff Awards Ceremony
The College of Public Health held its annual Faculty and Staff Awards Ceremony on April 19, recognizing 20 faculty and staff members for their exceptional work over the past year. The ceremony, which took place in the College’s auditorium, celebrated individuals who have excelled in teaching, research, leadership, and have shown a strong commitment to advancing the College’s missions and values.
Dean Melissa Perry commenced the ceremony by applauding all faculty and staff for their exceptional contributions to the College of Public Health. She attributed their hard work to the continuous improvement and evolution of College programs, which is evident by the latest U.S. News & World Report rankings.
Individuals from all departments within the College of Public Health (GCH, HAP, NUTR, SW, Nursing), College-wide staff, and those who have received honors at the university level were recognized during the ceremony. Awards were distributed by Lisa Joyner, Executive Director of Finance and Administration, and Cathy Tompkins, Associate Dean for Faculty and Staff Affairs. Each winner was personally congratulated by Dean Perry as well as their respective department chairs.
The nominations were submitted by colleagues who recognized outstanding achievements in their respective categories. These nominations were reviewed by department chairs before being selected by an ad hoc committee comprised of last year’s winners who determined the final award recipients.
Congratulations to all faculty and staff who received awards at this year’s ceremony! A complete list of winners can be found on the CPH Faculty and Staff Award page on our website.
