2008 Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Awards
Dongping Zhong is one of the 2008 winners of the Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Awards. The Camille and Henry Dreyfus Foundation describes this award as follows:

"The Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Awards Program supports the research and teaching careers of talented young faculty in the chemical sciences. Based on institutional nominations, the program provides discretionary funding to faculty at an early stage in their careers. Criteria for selection include an independent body of scholarship attained within the first five years of their appointment as independent researchers, and a demonstrated commitment to education, signaling the promise of continuing outstanding contributions to both research and teaching. The Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Awards Program provides an unrestricted research grant of $75,000."

Congratulations Chris Porter
Chris Porter was awarded a 2008 Graduate Associate Teaching Award in a surprise classroom visit by Assistant Dean of the Graduate School Kathleen Wallace on Thursday, April 17. The GATA is the university's highest recognition of exceptional teaching provided by graduate students and is awarded to a maximum of 10 graduate teaching associates each year. After nomination by students or faculty, the nominee must submit a portfolio to the final selection committee for consideration of "your ability to demonstrate student learning and your process for reflection and development." Chris will be honored at the Graduate School's Annual Spring Awards Reception and receive a commemorative plaque and a $1,500 honorarium in recognition of his exceptional performance as a teacher.
