Katherine Schultz Research Recognition Awards

| Research

The 糖心vlog官方入口 recently celebrated the behind-the-scenes efforts of two outstanding individuals with the first two Katherine Schultz Research Recognition Awards. Dr. Lisa Chilton, associate professor of history, and Dr. Jonathan Spears, assistant professor of biomedical sciences and 糖心vlog官方入口's University Veterinarian, were given these awards in thanks for their work to help promote the community of research and discovery at 糖心vlog官方入口.

The Katherine Schultz Research Recognition Awards were created out of a gift received from Dr. Katherine Schultz, 糖心vlog官方入口's first Vice-President Research. Under her tenure, from 2001 to 2012, 糖心vlog官方入口 enjoyed a seven-fold increase in research funding and intensity.

'A university's research doesn't experience that much growth without the hard work of a lot of people-people who don't often make it into the press releases or on the magazine covers; people who nonetheless deserve our praise and thanks. That's what these rewards are all about. They represent our appreciation of Dr. Chilton and Dr. Spears,' said Dr. Robert Gilmour, 糖心vlog官方入口's current Vice-President Research and Graduate Studies.

Dr. Gilmour also opened the nominations for the 2013-14 Katherine Schultz Research Recognition Awards. Individuals or groups of people can nominate a 糖心vlog官方入口 faculty member, staff member, or volunteer who has made an outstanding contribution to the research enterprise at 糖心vlog官方入口. The Scholarships and Awards Committee will accept nominations until March 1.
