At the 2024 Faculty and Staff Awards Ceremony, 20 faculty and staff members were recognized for their exceptional work in advancing the mission and values of the College of Public Health. The ceremony, held on April 19, honored individuals who have excelled in teaching, research, leadership, and shown a strong commitment to the College’s programs.
Dean Melissa Perry commenced the ceremony by applauding all faculty and staff for their hard work and dedication to the College. She highlighted how their contributions have led to continuous improvement and evolution of College programs, as evidenced by the latest U.S. News & World Report rankings.
Individuals from all departments within the College of Public Health (GCH, HAP, NUTR, SW, Nursing), College-wide staff, and those who have received honors at the university level were acknowledged during the ceremony. Awards were distributed by Lisa Joyner, Executive Director of Finance and Administration, and Cathy Tompkins, Associate Dean for Faculty and Staff Affairs. Each winner was personally congratulated by their nominator who submitted their nomination to department chairs.
The winners were selected through a rigorous process involving nominations from colleagues followed by review by department chairs before an ad hoc committee comprised of last year’s winners determined the final award recipients. Congratulations to all faculty and staff members who received awards at this ceremony! For a complete list of winners please visit our CPH Faculty and Staff Award page.
