Recipients of the first College of Business Faculty
Fellowships were announced at the Fellowship Awards Dinner on
September 14. President and Dr. Penley joined Dean Menon and members
of the College community in honoring the Fellows.
The Faculty Fellowship program was made possible through the
generous contributions of private donors who recognize the
exceptional talents of the COB faculty. Many of these contributors
were present for the awards ceremony.
The Fellowship Awards honor faculty for outstanding scholarship
and/or research activities and symbolize the continuing commitment
of the COB to the pursuit of excellence. Faculty members so honored
are recognized by their research, publication, instruction,
citizenship and stand out as outstanding members of their
discipline.
Beginning in 2004, outstanding faculty members will be recognized
under this award program. Each honoree will receive a non-permanent
base salary adjustment as well as a stipend to support teaching and
or research efforts. The faculty titles awarded as a result of this
program will be conferred for a period of up to three years. This
group of distinguished faculty may be identified by this title in
matters relating to the COB, its publications, academic ceremonies
and other activities.
