Recipients of Plumeri Awards for Faculty Excellence announced

by Nicholas Langhorne, University Development | April 6, 2012

Four years ago, Joseph J. Plumeri II ’66, D.P.S. ’11 made a commitment to create the Plumeri Awards for Faculty Excellence at William & 玛丽. At the time, he said the goal was to empower the College’s professors to continue to “work passionately to challenge the minds of our exceptional students.”

普卢梅里杰出教师奖于2009年首次颁发，影响了校园几乎每个角落的教师和学生，现在学院宣布2012年的获奖者。

Including this year’s cohort, 80 William & 玛丽 faculty members have received this prestigious award and used it to strengthen research, support scholarly publications and travel to conferences and universities around the world. The experiences and knowledge these faculty members gain as a result of this award has a tangible effect on their teaching and students, according to William & 玛丽 Provost Michael R. Halleran.

“Individually, these awards expand opportunities for our faculty and students,” he said. “Collectively, they enhance the teaching and learning that takes place at William & 玛丽.”

The awards are given to 20 William & 玛丽 faculty members each year in recognition of their exemplary achievements in teaching, research and service. All recipients receive $10,000, which is used for research, summer salaries or other stipends associated with scholarly endeavor.

“The impact these awards have is undeniable and stunning,” Halleran said. “We are infinitely grateful to Joseph Plumeri II for his passion, generosity and dedication to his alma mater.”
