Five Faculty Receive University Professor Awards

After a year of reorganization and efforts to increase visibility, the University Professor program has recognized five Ohio University faculty for teaching excellence.

Second-time recipients of the University Professor award are Professor of Interpersonal Communication David Descutner, Assistant Professor of Mathematics Gene Kaufman and Associate Professor of Virology Calvin James in the Biomedical Sciences Department of the College of Osteopathic Medicine. First-time winners are Associate Professor Marcy Nighswander in the School of Visual Communication and Associate Professor of Political Science Ronald Hunt.

The student-run University Professor awards program began in 1970 as a way for students to recognize outstanding teaching by nominating professors in the fall, with winners chosen by members of the University Professor Selection Committee during the winter quarter. University Professors receive $2,000 each and are expected to teach two courses on topics of their choice the following academic year.
