Faculty Profile

黑料网 黑料网鈥檚 Scholar of the Month

黑料网鈥檚 Scholar of the Month recognizes faculty researchers and scholars whose recent work has had an important impact on their professional fields and has brought exposure to the university. Each month, a different college will have the opportunity to nominate a researcher/scholar for this recognition. There is also a month when a faculty member from the Regional Campuses will be featured.
The selection process is in the hands of the dean and his or her colleagues and faculty. Hence, this is recognition by the person鈥檚 college colleagues that is then taken up by the university. The deans communicate the person鈥檚 name to the Division of Research and Sponsored Programs for recognition as Scholar of the Month.
