Department Chair Kris Blair has been recognized for her leadership and accomplishments in two venues recently. Last Friday evening at the annual Graduate College/Graduate Student Senate awards ceremony, Kris received the Outstanding Contributor to Graduate Education award. This is a particular honor in that candidates must be nominated by one’s own graduate students. Kris also received this award in 2004.
Additionally, Kris has been elected to the position of Vice-Chair/Chair-Elect for Faculty Senate. Given her leadership in Senate and other areas on creating a career ladder for Lecturers and Instructors, her election to this position of leadership is a great recognition both for Kris and the Department. Congratulations from everyone in East Hall Kris!
