The George Washington University held its eighth annual Faculty Honors Ceremony Tuesday at the Jack Morton Auditorium, celebrating faculty members for their work in teaching, research and service to the university.
“Teaching and research play a leading role in GW’s aspiration for preeminence as a comprehensive global research university,” George Washington President Thomas LeBlanc said. “We are proud and grateful to have your teaching, mentorship, scholarship and research talents here at GW, and we are committed to continuing to support your careers and helping you fulfill your professional ambitions.”
Dr. LeBlanc presented awards at the ceremony alongside Provost Forrest Maltzman, Academy of Distinguished Teachers Chair Christine Pintz, Associate Professor of Law David Fontana, Vice President for Research Leo Chalupa and GW senior Zachary Sanders. Besides distributing GW’s own awards for teaching, research and writing in the disciplines, the ceremony also acknowledged faculty who have served for 25 years, new emeriti faculty and faculty members who have received external awards.
