Recipients of Plumeri Awards for Faculty Excellence announced
A polar oceanographer who’s helped make the Virginia Institute of Marine Science a leader in the field, a chemist whose research has implications for ailments like Alzheimer’s disease and a physicist whose research led to a namesake theoretical model are among the 20 exceptional William & 玛丽 faculty members receiving prestigious Plumeri Awards for Faculty Excellence this year.
The awards, now in their third year, are given in recognition of faculty members’ exemplary achievements in teaching, research and service.
“William & 玛丽 enjoys a great reputation for academic excellence, and the crux of that reputation is our outstanding faculty,” said William & 玛丽 Provost Michael R. Halleran. “Their commitment to student learning, both in and out of the classroom, and dedication to scholarship, help ensure our students’ success. We are especially grateful to Joseph J. Plumeri II ’66 for his vision and generosity.”
The Plumeri Awards were made possible through a significant commitment from Plumeri in 2008. Plumeri said he wanted to “honor and support” faculty efforts at his alma mater and enhance faculty-student interaction. The awards are given to 20 William & 玛丽 faculty members each year with the first awardees named in 2009. All recipients receive $10,000, which is used for research, summer salaries or other stipends associated with scholarly endeavor.
