Friday, September 14, 2012
Seven Oklahoma State University faculty members have been named the 2012 recipients of the Regents Distinguished Teaching Award. This is the 22nd year outstanding faculty members have been recognized for their expertise and dedication to teaching. The awards were approved during the meeting of the Oklahoma State University/A&M Board of Regents on Friday. Receiving the prestigious awards are:
- Louis Anella, professor, horticulture and landscape architecture
- Jacqueline Vadjunec, assistant professor, geography
- Matthew Lovern, associate professor, zoology
- Robert Cornell, associate professor, head and Anadarko chair, accounting
- Diane Montgomery, Regents professor, applied health and education psychology
- Moh'd U. Bilbeisi, professor, architecture
- Whitney Bailey, associate professor, human development and family science
Each will receive a permanent annual salary increment of $2,000, plus fringe benefits. Each college nominates up to three people for the award. A review and selection committee composed of an undergraduate and a graduate student, two faculty members at large, two department heads and the provost or his designee, identifies the winners. Each college has one recipient except the College of Arts and Sciences, which has two recipients due to the large number of faculty.
