The College of Public Health held its 2024 Faculty and Staff Awards Ceremony to recognize the hard work, dedication, innovation, and service of its faculty and staff members. A total of 20 individuals were honored on April 19 for their outstanding achievements over the past year. The awards were given to those who have excelled in teaching, research, leadership, and have shown a strong commitment to advancing the College’s missions and values.
Dean Melissa Perry commenced the ceremony by applauding all faculty and staff for their exceptional work, highlighting how their contributions have enhanced the College of Public Health. She attributed their hard work to the continuous improvement and evolution of College programs, which is 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, who personally congratulated each winner and recognized their achievements in their respective categories.
The winners were nominated by their colleagues who submitted nominations to department chairs. These nominations were reviewed by the department chairs who then selected official nominees. An ad hoc committee comprised of last year’s winners was responsible for determining the final award recipients.
