| Karen Webber Bauer, director of institutional research and associate professor in the Institute of Higher Education, received the Distinguished Service Award from the Northeast Association for Institutional Research. The award recognized Bauer’s leadership, commitment, and participation in myriad activities in the profession over the past 17 years. The Northeast Association for Institutional Research is a professional association for institutional research professionals. Its primary mission is the continued professional development (i.e., via education and sharing of ideas) of members who work primarily in higher education. Bauer’s receipt of the distinguished service award is only the fourth time this award has been given in more than 30 years. School of Law Talmadge Professor Edward J. Larson has received an honorary doctorate in humane letters from Ohio State University. The degree, one of Ohio State’s highest honors, recognized Larson for his lifetime accomplishments as a historian and his efforts to promote the understanding of historical and contemporary issues in bioscience, medicine, politics and law.
Paul Schempp, professor of kinesiology and director of UGA’s Sport Instruction Research Laboratory, was named the 2004 Distinguished Scholar by the International Center for Performance Excellence at West Virginia University. Faculty at WVU’s School of Physical Education selected Schempp based on his research in coaching and sports instruction. Schempp was invited to receive the award and deliver a lecture to faculty and students at WVU last semester. Harald Scherm, associate professor of plant pathology, received the Julius-Kühn Prize from the German Phytomedical Society. Given every other year to no more than two early- to mid-career scientists, the award recognized Scherm’s research on the epidemiology of fungal plant pathogens in relation to cultural and environmental factors. The DPG is Germany’s professional society for plant pathology, applied entomology, and weed sciences; it currently has about 1,600 members in more than 50 countries. Janet Westpheling, associate professor of genetics, has been named to the advisory board for the Society for Biological Engineering, a new technological community of the American Institute for Chemical Engineers. The mission of the SBE is to promote the integration of biology with engineering and realize its benefits through bioprocessing, biomedical and biomolecular applications.The advisory board is made up of scientists from universities and industry and will work to organize meetings and promote interaction between biologists and engineers whose work is at the interface of these disciplines. Kudos recognizes special contributions of staff, faculty and administrators in teaching, research and service. News items are limited to election into office of state, regional, national and international societies; major awards and prizes; and similarly notable accomplishments. |
