Recipients of National Awards and Honors
Banner year for faculty awards and honors
Faculty awards and recognition are one measure of a college’s
accomplishments. In 2008-09 the University of Minnesota’s College
of Education and Human Development had a banner year by this measure,
with its faculty earning several national awards and honors.
These award winners are a testament to the commitment and quality
of the college’s faculty, and we are proud to acknowledge the recognition
that they deserve.
