Beneficiary of her gift to the university: Lothar Tresp Outstanding Honors Professor Award, J. H. Howard III Honors Teaching Award and the President’s Venture Fund
Why she contributes: “As a ‘Double Dawg,’ I’ve been here a long time and have had many different roles. As a former Honors student and former associate director of the Honors Program, I value the contributions of outstanding faculty to the lives and careers of their students. It is important to recognize faculty for their efforts, and the Honors Program was a pioneer of faculty teaching awards. In addition, having taken a class from Dr. Howard and having been hired to work with Dr. Tresp, I feel a personal connection to the awards given in their names.”
