At the 31st annual Honor Scholars and Faculty Awards Ceremony on March 26, 2013, 14 SOE students were among the more 80 students from across the full spectrum of academic programs at UM-Dearborn who received recognition as Honor Scholars. In addition to the student awardees, Julie Taylor, SOE associate professor, received the Distinguished Teaching Award.
The Distinguished Teaching Award is given to faculty members whose teaching record illustrates effectiveness in the classroom and the revitalization of courses and curriculum, interaction with students outside the classroom, as mentor or advisor; professional growth as a teacher; and commitment to undergraduate and/or graduate education. This award is made annually to at most one faculty member in each of three categories (tenured, non-tenured, and lecturer), and Dr. Taylor won in the category of tenured faculty.
The Honor Scholar Award is presented to at most one student in each degree program, and it recognizes superior academic performance. Awards are made within both undergraduate and graduate programs. Faculty members within a program area choose the award winner.
The Honor Scholar Award winners in the School of Education at the undergraduate level were Maureen Fleming (Social Studies), Maggie Gearns (Mathematics Studies), Melissa Gellenbeck (Language Arts), Jacqueline Laforet (Reading), Steven Pascoe (Science Studies), Jennifer Rosecrans (Early Childhood), Jennifer Urso (Special Education), and Tracy Winkelman (Children & Families).
At the graduate level, the SOE awardees were Jonna Fessenden (M.Ed. Special Education), Hannah Greaves (MAT), Timothy Marley (MA in Education), Carissa Quinones (MA Educational Technology), Jeanette Reifenberg (MA Educational Leadership), and Tracy Rumfelt (MS Science Education),
Please join me in congratulating all of the SOE award winners. We celebrate their academic excellence and distinguished accomplishment!
