Plumeri获奖者代表了一个杰出的名单
这是一份令人印象深刻的名单，其中包括20位威廉玛丽学院最优秀、最聪明的教师。现在，他们也是普卢梅里优秀教师奖的首批获奖者。
2009年的奖项于去年春天宣布，是以校友及前访校委员会成员Joseph J. Plumeri（1966年）的名字命名的。作为学院的长期支持者，Plumeri从2000年到2008年担任William & 玛丽董事会成员，并担任全球领先的保险经纪公司Willis Group的董事长兼首席执行官。在接下来的十年里，W&M的教务长每年将选出多达20名教师获得普卢梅里奖，该奖项为每位获奖者提供10,000美元的研究机会、夏季工资、材料、专业发展或与研究或教学相关的其他费用。
“第一批普卢梅里获奖者代表了威廉与玛丽学院的杰出教师名单，”教务长P. Geoffrey Feiss说，他在院长提名后选择了2009年的获奖者。“所有这些人都是模范教师和受人尊敬的研究人员。每个人都将是美国任何一所大学教师的重要成员。我们很高兴能够认可并支持他们的重要工作。”
