QUICK NOTES
Associate Professor of Chemistry Laura Wysocki was selected to participate in the NSF ADVANCE Partnership ASCEND project (Advancing STEM Careers by Empowering Network Development). Participants receive the title of NSF ASCEND Faculty Fellow. The goal of this $1 million grant is to create peer mentoring networks of mid-career STEM women faculty and administrator allies across institutions and regions.
Neil Schmitzer-Torbert was promoted to full professor in psychology.
Wally Novak was named the new Haines Chair in Biochemistry.
Lon Porter was named the Howell Chair in Chemistry.
Chemistry Professor Ann Taylor was named Special Assistant to the President for COVID-19 Planning and Response.
Laura Wysocki and Associate Professor of Rhetoric Sara Drury will lead a nearly $600,000 grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to study the impact of deliberation on undergraduate STEM education. The grant builds on the success of one part of an NSF-supported exploratory grant (2015–17), which investigated deliberation in the chemistry classroom.
Associate Director of the Lilly Library Laura Vogler was inducted into the Private Academic Library Network of Indiana (PALNI) Hall of Fame. She was named a top contributor on the OCLC Community Site.
To my professors:
“When you go to bed, I hope you know that your work endures. We remember the lessons you taught, we use the tools, and we retell the stories. And I hope you feel we’ve been good stewards of your efforts.
